Georgia gymnastics scored a big win in front of a soldout crowd at the Stegeman Coliseum on Friday, but there was one special guest in attendance. The GymDogs met the GOAT, when Simone Biles pulled up to enjoy the action.

Biles was sitting next to her husband, Chicago Bears defensive back Jonathan Owens, for the meet against Boise State.

The Olympic champion has a connection to Georgia because the GymDogs' co-head coach Cecile Canqueteau-Landi has been Biles' personal coach for the past eight years.

"She talked to us a little bit before we went out to warm up. It wasn't much, she's just a person, you know what I mean. It just felt good to have her in there, tell us we got it." junior Ja'Free Scott told the media of Biles after the meet.

Sophomore Lily Scott added, "It's an honor having her in here and our coaches were like, 'She's just a normal human. Don't put pressure on yourself because she's in the building. You guys know what to do. Stay in your bubble.' So I really focused on that and I did it."

Georgia sits at 2-2 on the season and is back on the road next week to take on the Florida Gators in Gainesville. The meet will start at 6:30 p.m. on the SEC Network.
