Simone Biles<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>shut down any critics who wanted to make comments about her hair during the team all-around women\u2019s gymnastics event at the 2024 Olympics in Paris on Tuesday, July 30. The gold medal-winner, 27, posted a video and a selfie on her Instagram Story sharing the perfect response to any critics, revealing the conditions that the team had to travel in to get to the event.<\/p>\n

In the clip, Simone had a hand fan to try to keep cool, and she moved her phone around to show the different angles of her hair, as she rocked a black sports bra. \u201cDon\u2019t come for me about my hair. IT WAS DONE but bus has NO AC, and it\u2019s like 90,000 degrees,\u201d she wrote. \u201cOh and a 45 min. bus ride.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cGonna gold your hand when I say this\u2026 Next time you wanna comment on a Black girl\u2019s hair, JUST DON\u2019T\u201d \u2013 Simone Biles with a quick PSA pic.twitter.com\/pehDqLibmK<\/a><\/p>\n

In the next slide, Simone shared another response to anyone who wanted to make unsolicited comments about her hair. \u201cGonna hold your hand when I say this,\u201d she wrote with a lipstick kiss emoji. \u201cNext time you wanna comment on a black girl\u2019s hair. JUST DON\u2019T.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ultimately, Simone and Team USA took home the gold in the team event! The victory made history for Simone as she became the American gymnast to win the most Olympic gold medals. Simone had an amazing floor routine, and the team defeated Italy by about six points. After the win, Simone and her teammate\u00a0Suni Lee\u00a0<\/strong>could be heard plotting funny TikTok videos<\/a> that they wanted to make with their medals.<\/p>\n

Of course, there was an outpouring of support for Simone and Team USA across the country and the world. Simone\u2019s husband\u00a0Jonathan Owens<\/strong> made a post marking the occasion<\/a>.<\/p>\n

After winning, Simone seemed to shade her former teammate\u00a0MyKayla Skinner<\/strong>, when she made a post commemorating the team\u2019s victory. MyKayla had previously commented on the team\u2019s work ethic, and Simone used a play on her words to celebrate their gold medal win. \u201cLack of talent, lazy, olympic champions,\u201d she wrote in an Instagram caption.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
