Biles was the guest correspondent for Inside Edition during the Super Bowl festivities, and costarred in a pre-game short film called "Ragged Old Flag." Clearly Biles' fame doesn't stop at the Olympics, and we can't wait to see the young gymnast star take part in more of America's best sporting events.
