The Paris Olympics are heating up with Simone Biles throwing shade at former teammate MyKayla Skinner, and it's better than your average reality TV drama!

As the Paris 2024 Olympics unfold, the spotlight shines brightly on Team USA’s gymnastics squad, specifically on MyKayla Skinner and Simone Biles. Skinner, a three-time world team champion, recently celebrated along with her teammates after they clinched gold in the women's gymnastics team final. Her jubilant social media post featured the team with their medals and a sprinkle of heart emojis, radiating pride and joy for her hard-earned victory. However, it didn’t take long for another story to emerge from this celebratory moment, including some unexpected social media drama!

Enter Simone Biles, the legendary gymnast whose electric comeback has made headlines. After winning her fifth Olympic gold, Simone seemingly hit back at MyKayla with a cryptic yet sharp social media response, alluding to remarks made by Skinner before the Olympics. While Skinner was riding high on her win, Biles appeared to use her platform to deliver a not-so-subtle jab, reminding everyone just how fierce and formidable she remains in the gymnastics arena. It’s safe to say the gloves were off in this sparring match of shade!

What led to this unexpected exchange? Apparently, Skinner made some remarks questioning the work ethic of her teammates, which surely didn’t sit well with Biles. In an Instagram post that left fans buzzing, Simone seemingly responded to these comments, alluding to "lazy Olympic champions" — a clear reference to Skinner’s previous comments. Furthermore, pop sensation and fellow gymnast McKayla Maroney joined in on the fun, remarking in her own comment, “You f’d around and found out.” This just goes to show that while the gymnastics teams may compete together, the spirit of competition extends beyond the mat and into social media.

While the rivalry between teammates makes for good drama, the camaraderie among gymnasts also shines through in moments like these. Did you know Simone Biles is considered one of the greatest gymnasts of all time? With 32 medals across World Championships and Olympic games, her career has been nothing short of legendary. Meanwhile, Skinner, who previously voiced her concerns about the team dynamics before the Olympics, has had her own share of accolades, including a gold medal that she will cherish forever. The mix of competition, friendship, and a sprinkle of shade makes for an unforgettable Olympic saga that fans are definitely here for!
