John was a happy man and loved his new wheels:
"Oh, my God. Oh my, that is awesome," John exclaimed as the Today host explained that the wheelchair would be custom-fitted.
John suffered a spinal cord injury in 2019 after he fell off a ladder while trying to help a friend trim a tree, according to the outlet.
Since then, he's been using a manual wheelchair, often needing assistance from Suni's brother, Lucky. "Now you don't need me to push you anymore," Lucky exclaimed when John received the wheelchair gift from Biles.
John gave the new wheelchair a spin down the street.
"Well, this is amazing. Thank you, guys," Suni's father exclaimed once more.
"I want to tell her team that no matter what, you all support her and I want to tell Simone that she truly is the GOAT because she let my baby girl bring the gold medal," he said at the time.
