Simone Biles to Grand Marshall Thanksgiving Day Parade

Simone Biles will be the grand marshall for the Houston Thanksgiving Day Parade. It is exciting that we will have an Olympic champion in our parade. Simone Biles is a worldwide known athlete from the Houston area who is an Olympic gymnast. Simone Biles was asked by Mayor Sylvester Turner to be in the parade and she agreed. Simone Biles is the first woman to receive three consecutive world all-around titles and she earned four gold medals and one bronze at the Olympic Games in Rio, setting a new American record for most gold medals won in women’s gymnastics at singles games. Simone Biles is one of our most famous Houstonians and deserves to be in our parade.
