Simone Biles’ teammates have her back. When the athlete celebrated the women’s gymnastics team’s 2024 Paris Olympics win Tuesday with an Instagram dig at MyKayla Skinner, her fellow Team USA members took to the comments section to chime in.

MyKayla Skinner is subtly showing her support. Weeks after the retired gymnast sparked backlash by slamming Simone Biles’ teammates’s “work ethic” and lack of “talent and depth,” she celebrated Team USA’s 2024 Paris Olympics win.
