Simone Biles Continues to Shine at the Olympics, Calls Out Media and Receives Praise from LeBron James
Simone Biles continues to make headlines at the 2024 Paris Olympics, not just for her incredible gymnastics skills, but also for her witty and relatable social media presence. After securing yet another gold medal in the women’s all-around, Biles took to Twitter to share her thoughts on the pressure athletes face from the media.
In a series of hilarious tweets, Biles called out the common practice of asking athletes what’s next immediately after they win a medal. She emphasized the importance of savoring the moment and celebrating the hard work that goes into achieving Olympic success.
But Biles didn’t stop there. She also took a moment to throw some political shade, responding to a tweet praising her as the GOAT (Greatest of All Time) by jokingly referring to her success in gymnastics as her “black job.”
Her online antics caught the attention of basketball legend LeBron James, who showed his support by calling her a “Black [goat].” The mutual respect between two sporting icons was evident, proving that greatness recognizes greatness.
As Biles wrapped up her time in Paris with a silver medal in floor exercise, her friendship with teammate Jordan Chiles was on full display. The duo, who train together in Texas, showcased their camaraderie in matching Team USA outfits, symbolizing the unity and strength of Black women in sports.
Simone Biles and Jordan Chiles have not only dominated the Olympic stage but have also uplifted and inspired Black women everywhere with their talent, friendship, and unapologetic authenticity. Their presence at the Games has been a true celebration of excellence and representation.
