Aimee Boorman, who coached Simone Biles through Rio, joins Dutch gymnastics staff

Aimee Boorman, who coached Simone Biles from age 7 through the Rio Olympics, is now an assistant coach with the Netherlands women’s gymnastics team.

The federation announced its Olympic staff on Friday.

After the Rio Olympics, Biles took a year off from gymnastics. Boorman moved from Texas to Florida to become executive director of women’s gymnastics and elite coordinator at EVO Athletics in Sarasota.

Biles returned to training 2017, still at her family’s gym outside Houston, under new coaches, Cecile and Laurent Landi.

Boorman joins a Dutch program that surged in recent years.
