Simone Biles Explains Why It Was ‘Important’ to Stand Up for Teammates

Simone Biles opened up about why she felt it was crucial to stand up for her teammates at the 2024 Paris Olympics

.

After she and fellow teammates Suni Lee, Jordan Chiles, Jade Carey and Hezly Rivera won gold in the team finals last month, Biles captioned her Instagram upload, “Lack of talent, lazy, olympic champions ❤️🥇🇺🇸.” Biles told the outlet that it “meant a lot” to her teammates to have “somebody to stand up” for them. She added that it felt like the right moment to take a stance “because they're so young and they haven't fully stood in their power yet.”

Days later, Skinner took to social media to explain that she posted an apology video after her initial YouTube video. Skinner also alleged that she wrote notes to each of the women on the team and only received a response from Biles.
