Simone Biles had some choice words for her critics in her celebratory social media post after Team USA’s women’s gymnastics team emerged victorious and claimed gold at the 2024 Paris Olympics.
Biles, who became the most decorated gymnast in US history after Tuesday’s win, seemingly clapped back at her former teammate MyKayla Skinner following her critical comments about the team’s “work ethic.”
“Lack of talent, lazy, olympic champions ❤️🥇🇺🇸,” the 27-year-old athlete captioned her Instagram post after the win.
In the post, Biles can be seen posing with her teammates Suni Lee, Hezly Rivera, Jade Carey and Jordan Chiles after topping the scoreboard.
Biles’ tongue-in-cheek caption appeared to take aim at Skinner’s previous harsh remarks about the Olympic squad.
“Besides Simone, I feel like the talent and the depth just isn’t like what it used to be. Just notice like, I mean, obviously a lot of girls don’t work as hard. The girls just don’t have the work ethic,” Skinner said in a since-deleted YouTube video, which has since gone viral on X.
