How tall is Simone Biles?
That apparently was the question on everyone’s mind after the Olympic gymnast threw out the ceremonial first pitch for Game 2 of the World Series on Wednesday. It immediately started trending on the internet.
The gold medalist did a standing full-twisting back flip in front of the mound before throwing the ball to the Astros’ Jake Marisnick.
As the camera pulled back to show her walking toward home plate, she appeared virtually doll-size.
Part of it was the camera angle and part of it was Marisnick’s height — he’s 6-foot-3 — but Biles is a tiny 22-year-old, at 4-foot-8.
The Washington Nationals lead the series 2-0 after they defeated the Astros 5-4 in Game 1 and 12-3 in Game 2.
