Fans Have One Word For Simone Biles As She Shrugs Off Injury In Paris Olympics Debut

Many fans described Simone Biles with the same one word on Sunday ― “tough.”

The U.S. gymnastics great earned the praise during qualifying at the Paris Olympics.

Hobbled by a lower leg injury that she aggravated in practice just moments earlier, an unfazed Biles topped her group in all-around points, announcing to the world that she was back from a disappointing 2021 Olympics in which she withdrew from the team final and all-around due to mental health stress and a case of the twisties.

Despite facing sudden discomfort in her Paris debut that her coach described as a flare-up of calf pain, Biles got taped up and kept excelling.

“Simone Biles is tough,” one observer wrote on X, formerly called Twitter. “She is the GOAT for a reason.”

Another commenter couldn’t just leave it at tough, writing, “Simone Biles is super tough… she’s fighting through, and doing great!”
