Paris, France– Simone Biles, the queen of gymnastics, seems to have taken a shot at her former teammate, MyKayla Skinner after the US women’s gymnastics team won gold at the Paris Olympics.
The US team brought home the gold medal, including Biles, Jordan Chiles, Sunisa Lee, Jade Carey, and Hezly Rivera. After the big win, Simone Biles posted a photo of the team celebrating on Instagram. The caption was short but seemed to have a hidden meaning. It said, “Lack of talent, lazy, Olympic champions.”
Many people think this post was a message to Skinner. Before the Olympics, Skinner said in a video that the US team didn’t work as hard as before and didn’t have the same talent as older teams. She blamed the rules about how coaches can talk to athletes for this.
Skinner later apologized for her words and said she didn’t mean to hurt anyone’s feelings. But it seems like Biles didn’t forget her comments.
Biles’ post quickly became a hot topic on social media. People had different opinions about it. Some supported Biles and said Skinner didn’t deserve to criticize the team. Others said Biles was being too harsh and should focus on celebrating the win.
This isn’t the first time Biles has responded to Skinner’s comments. Earlier this month, Biles posted on social media, saying not everyone needs to talk about things. This was also seen as a message to Skinner.
The back-and-forth between these two famous gymnasts has created a lot of drama in the gymnastics world. Fans are waiting to see how Skinner will respond to Simone Biles’ latest post.
The rivalry between Simone Biles and Skinner is far from over. Their public fight is a reminder that even the best athletes can have problems with each other.
