Simone Biles and the U.S. women's gymnastics team won gold at the 2024 Paris Olympics, prompting Biles to respond to critical remarks from former teammate MyKayla Skinner. Skinner had claimed in a now-deleted YouTube video that, apart from Biles, the current team lacked talent and work ethic. Biles fired back on Instagram, captioning celebratory photos with 'Lack of talent, lazy, olympic champions.' Skinner apologized for her comments, stating they were misunderstood and not meant to offend. The exchange highlights tensions within the gymnastics community over evolving training methods and athlete support systems.
