Viewers were shocked last night when Dancing With the Stars duo, Olympian Simone Biles and pro dancer Sasha Farber, got the boot. But perhaps one person who wasn’t so shocked was Simone herself.

“I have been going since the Olympics non-stop and then I came into here to Dancing With the Stars and the experience was wonderful,” she shared with Entertainment Tonight. “I feel like I found out a lot about myself — not just ‘Gymnastics Simone’ but ‘Normal Simone.’ I feel like I’ve been at a high so much, no one wants to see my name again on social media, I mean come on. Sometimes I’m sick of my own name. On the radio [I hear] ‘Simone Biles’ and I’m like, ‘Oh my god, shut up!'”

She continued: “This isn’t my element. If it were gymnastics I’d be like, ‘You know what Simone, you better get back into the gym.’ But I don’t know how to dance in heels! I was still tripping yesterday.”

Sasha added: “This has literally has been a dream come true to work with her. She’s grown so much as a person and I wish she was in the finals, I wish she won this whole competition, and I wish the best for her. I’m going to be there cheering her on at the next Olympics with a huge sign saying ‘Go Simone!'”
