Simone Biles appeared to reference those controversial Mykayla Skinner’s comment after the US Gymnastic’s big win at the 2024 Olympics.
“Lack of talent, lazy, olympic champions ❤️🥇🇺🇸,” Biles captioned the post, seemingly hitting back at 2020 Olympic vault silver medalist Skinner, who previously criticized the team, minus Biles, in a now deleted youtube video.
After the team heading to the games was announced last month, Skinner, 27, said, “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,” she added, per a clip from the video shared on X(FORMERLY KNOWN AS TWITTER).
