PARIS - Simone Biles crafted a gold medal-worthy caption after the US women dominated the Olympic gymnastics team final in an apparent slam against her former teammate following harsh remarks weeks earlier.
Paris 2024 Olympics - Artistic Gymnastics - Women's Team Final - Bercy Arena, Paris, France - July 30, 2024. Simone Biles of United States, Jordan Chiles of United States, Jade Carey of United States, Sunisa Lee of United States and Hezly Rivera of United States celebrate after winning gold.
"Besides Simone, I feel like the talent and the depth just isn't like what it used to be," Skinner, 27, said in the now-deleted video.Skinner apparently did not take kindly to Biles' hit-back. "Put a finger down if Simone Biles just ended you," US Olympian Sunisa Lee commented on Biles' post from Tuesday.
Skinner, who felt she was unfairly left off the 2016 Rio squad, was selected to represent the US as an individual in Tokyo where she earned a silver medal in the vault, an event from which the heavily-favoured Biles withdrew due to the "twisties".
