Biles took to Instagram just after Team USA’s women’s gymnastics won the gold medal at the 2024 Paris Olympic Games to share her own personal reaction to the exciting event. She seemingly threw shade at McKayla Skinner in the process.
“Lack of talent, lazy, Olympic champions,” Biles declared in the post, which included photos of the team celebrating with the American flag Simone Biles’ clapback was in response to McKayla Skinner criticizing her teammates in the weeks leading up to the Olympic Games. The teammates are Suni Lee, Jade Carey, Jordan Chiles, and Hezly Rivera.Besides Simone, I feel like the talent and the depth just isn’t like what it used to be,” MyKayla said in a video earlier this month.
She then hinted there was a difference in work ethic due to the U.S. Center for SafeSport focusing on ended abuse in athletes. “The girls just don’t have the work ethic,” she continued. “And it’s hard too because of SafeSport. Like, coaches can’t get on athletes and they have to be really careful what they say.”
Skinner was previously on the national team as an alternate in the 2016 Olympics and was a silver medalist in the 2020 games. She did participate in this year’s Olympic trials.
