Simone Biles on MyKayla Skinner

News summary

Simone Biles celebrated her team's gold medal win at the 2024 Paris Olympics while responding to former teammate MyKayla Skinner's recent criticism of the current gymnastics squad. Skinner claimed that, aside from Biles, the team lacked talent and work ethic, which Biles addressed in her Instagram post captioned 'Lack of talent, lazy, Olympic champions,' a pointed reference to Skinner's remarks. Biles' post garnered significant attention, with support from teammates Suni Lee and Jordan Chiles, who joined in the playful backlash against Skinner. Additionally, Biles faced criticism about her hair due to the extreme heat in Paris, which she addressed directly on social media, advocating for respect towards Black women's hair. With this victory, Biles solidified her status as the most decorated U.S. gymnast in history, marking her eighth Olympic medal. Skinner later attempted to clarify her comments but has yet to publicly respond to Biles' social media jab.
