Simone Biles is well known for her shenanigans outside of her sport, which makes her a likeable personality. Biles has not only mastered the skill of gymnastics by being a 4x Olympic gold medalist, but has also ventured out to support and develop the sport in so many ways. One such virtue that sets Biles apart from the rest is her unending commitment towards mental health and hyping up the NCAA athletes. Continuing the trend, Biles acknowledged yet another NCAA talent, making her morale go up significantly.
When the 22-year-old athlete posted her picture on social media, little did she know the kind of attention she would garner. While the entire gymnastics community is buzzing in anticipation of the upcoming Paris Olympics, Biles’ comment showed why we must never forget our roots. It was a warranted comment from Biles as the athlete in question slayed with her effortless chic looks.
22-year-old Auburn gymnast gets acknowledged by the OG Queen Simone Biles
In a recently uploaded Instagram post, Auburn’s Olivia Hollingsworth uploaded a couple of her pictures, flexing a fresh and determined look. The gymnast could be seen donning her uniform as she captioned the post, “geaux aubie 🐯”. Soon after uploading the images, her comments section was flooded with acknowledgments and appreciation. While many friends and fellow athletes commented, one of them stood apart.
It was none other than the US gymnast icon Simone Biles, who took to the comment section and mused, “OLIVIAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA🔥🔥🔥😍😍hoy damn!!” Such a comment was surely a morale booster for Hollingsworth after her team recorded the highest road score of the season recently.
A road clash at the Baton Rouge saw the no.12 Auburn gymnastics team square off against the no.3 LSU Tigers. Although Auburn lost the game, they managed to put up a valiant score of 197.100, the highest of the season, with Hollingsworth scoring an impressive all-around of 49.475.
Now with the Queen in her support, Hollingsworth is expected to deliver more such impressive numbers going forward. Speaking about Biles, this is not the only instance of her coming to the aid of the NCAA athletes.
The time when Simone Biles stood in solidarity with Angel Reese
An infamous and ugly brash took centre stage when the LSU Tigers clinched the title getting the better of the Iowa Hawkeyes last year. Riding high on confidence, Angel Reese took the attack to the opposition to dominate proceedings. What she also took to the Hawkeyes’ Caitlin Clark was a gesture that unfortunately did not sit well with them.
Reese pointed her ring finger at Clark and mimicked the iconic gesture of WWE superstar John Cena’s ‘You Can’t See Me’. Reese faced a huge backlash for her actions, which were supposedly insulting. However, the teenage basketball sensation found an able ally in Simone Biles. Biles retweeted one of Reese’s posts that read, “I LOVE BEING A BLACK QUEEN.😇” Such a gesture from Biles confirmed her support for Reese on the ongoing controversy.
