Simone Biles Fumes Over Olympics Reporter Habit That Needs to ‘Stop’

Biles Wins Third Gold Medal in Paris

Simone Biles, the most dec­o­rat­ed Amer­i­can gym­nast, has hit out at reporters cov­er­ing the 2024 Paris Olympics for their line of ques­tion­ing after ath­letes win medals.

Biles, who cap­tured her third gold medal at the Games in the vault finals, expressed frus­tra­tion with reporters ask­ing ath­letes about their future plans imme­di­ate­ly after their victories.

Biles Wants Athletes to ‘Soak Up the Moment’

In a series of social media posts, Biles wrote: “You guys real­ly got­ta stop ask­ing ath­letes what’s next after they win a medal at the Olympics.” She added: “Let us soak up the moment we’ve worked our whole lives for.”

When a fan asked Biles what was next for her after win­ning anoth­er gold, she replied: “Babysit­ting the medal.”

Biles’ vic­to­ry in the vault final on Sat­ur­day gave her the sev­enth gold medal of her illus­tri­ous Olympic career. 

She is now only the sec­ond woman to win two vault crowns, join­ing Vera Casalavs­ka of Czechoslovakia.

The 27-year-old gym­nast has now won three gold medals at the 2024 Paris Olympics, hav­ing already secured vic­to­ries in the team finals and the indi­vid­ual all-around competition.
