Simone Biles Just Owned TikTok’s ‘More Athletic’ Trend & I Can’t Stop Watching
Simone Biles is a household name and let’s be real, she’s earned every bit of that title. With 11 Olympic medals and 30 World Championship medals (not to mention countless other accolades), she’s officially the most decorated gymnast in history. So when she joined in (albeit unwillingly) on one of TikTok’s latest viral trends, it instantly became a must-watch moment.
In case you’ve missed it, there’s a current TikTok challenge where people ask athletic people the most ridiculous question: “Do you wish you were a little more athletic?” Whether it’s rage bait, sarcasm or just plain trolling, the reactions are gold. So, when one of Simone’s friends decided to try it out on Simone, 28, you know I was all ears.
In a clip posted Thursday, September 4, her friend casually asks: “I have a question for you. Do you sometimes wish you were like a little bit more athletic?”
Simone immediately responds with a confused, “Is this a serious question?”
When her friend doubles down and repeats it, Simone bursts into laughter and says, “Do you know who you’re talking to?”
Touché, Simone. Touché.
When she’s not casually being the GOAT or the subject of TikTok trends, Biles is also serving serious looks on social media. Whether she’s cheering on her husband, NFL player Jonathan Owens or walking a red carpet, she always delivers style.
One unforgettable moment? Her appearance at TIME’s 100 Most Influential People party in April, where she stunned in a strapless metallic mini dress by Oscar de la Renta. Oh, and the sculpted floral silhouette was made out of rubber. Yes, really.
More iconic comebacks, more jaw-dropping outfits, please and thank you.
