Simon Biles and Jordan Chiles bowed to Brazilian gymnast Rebecca Andrade in recognition of her gold medal win over Team USA. Michelle Obama, on the other hand, supported the two-star athletes, going against the majority of Americans’ sentiments when the photo of the gymnasts bowing became viral.
“This is literally disgusting,”
Ravens defensive back Marlon Humphrey chastised Simone Biles and Jordan Chiles for bowing before Brazilian athlete Rebecca Andrade.
His post on X said “This is literally disgusting,”
Michelle praised the gymnasts for winning the bronze medal and demonstrating good sportsmanship at the Paris Olympics, opposing negative reaction. She posted on X “I’m still not over this beautiful moment of sisterhood and sportsmanship! You can just feel the love shining through these ladies. Congrats Rebeca, Jordan and Simone!”
The three-time Pro Bowler faced backlash online due to his controversial remarks regarding Biles and Chiles, attracting criticism from social media users. Realizing his questionable statements, he issued an apology acknowledging his error and expressing remorse. He humorously admitted feeling overwhelmed and misinterpreting responses, including amusingly thinking he was being scolded in Portuguese on Instagram. In his subsequent post on X, he shared further reflections, demonstrating a willingness to learn and grow from the experience.
The tour was a “redemption tour” for Biles
The Paris Olympics, held in 2024, marked a pivotal moment in the careers of renowned gymnasts Biles and Chiles. Demonstrating exceptional skills and unwavering determination, the dynamic duo not only represented Team USA with pride but also played a crucial role in securing a remarkable total of six medals for their country.
For Biles this was a “redemption tour” after their performance at the Tokyo Olympics. She won three golds and one silver medal, despite facing social media drama and criticism from trolls and former teammate MyKayla Skinner. Despite the criticism, she continued to excel with her gold medals.
