"It's really crazy, and I appreciate everyone that's come out to watch and support us especially after the year we've had."
And this isn't the last we'll see of Simone competing this year, she'll be heading to the Olympic trials where the top two all-rounders automatically make the team, and then on to Japan.
While Simone didn't show off her Yurchenko double pike vault that she debuted at the GK US Classic a few weeks ago, but here she did show off a billy goat on her leotard to represent her being the "greatest of all time."

"The idea was to hit back at the haters," she said. "I didn't feel like it was necessarily fair how they could keep saying whatever they wanted, but then if I said something, it wasn't fair."
