Simone Biles seemingly responded to fellow Olympian and former Team USA teammate MyKayla Skinner’s criticism of the 2024 Olympic gymnasts
Simone Biles and MyKayla Skinner had a history long before the retired gymnast’s controversial comments about Team USA’s work ethic.
“Coaches can’t get on athletes which in some ways is really good but at the same time, to get to where you need to be in gymnastics you do have to be … a little aggressive, a little intense,” the Olympic silver medalist explained in June. Skinner retired from gymnastics in August 2021 following the Tokyo Olympics, for which she represented Team USA after Biles had to step away due to the “twisties.”Skinner placed second behind Biles at the 2015 AT&T American Cup, held in Arlington, Texas.
“WE’RE GOING TO TOKYO🎉,” Biles wrote via Instagram at the time. “Such a surreal feeling. I can’t believe I made the olympic team for a 2nd time & I’m beyond excited to represent Team USA. So so proud of everyone - this is just the beginning of the journey. thanks for all the endless support & love. I couldn’t ask for better support 🖤.
