The 2024 Paris Olympics are in full swing, and Team USA is already making history and breaking a ton of records. Case in point: The women바카라 게임 웹사이트s rugby team captured their first-ever Olympic medal in rugby sevens during a match against Australia on July 30, and Simone Biles became the most decorated U.S. gymnast of all time after she and her teammates took home the gold at the women바카라 게임 웹사이트s gymnastics team final.
Simone celebrated the historic moment on Instagram by posting a pic with Suni Lee, Jordan Chiles, Jade Carey, and Hezly Rivera, writing, 바카라 게임 웹사이트Lack of talent, lazy, olympic champions바카라 게임 웹사이트
Fans immediately took notice of Simone바카라 게임 웹사이트s caption, tying it back to comments her former teammate, MyKayla Skinner, made about the lack of work ethic in gymnastics.
Since Simone바카라 게임 웹사이트s post, Suni Lee and 2012 Fierce Five gymnast McKayla Maroney have entered the chat, too.

바카라 게임 웹사이트A lot of girls don't work as hard....The girls just don바카라 게임 웹사이트t have the work ethic,바카라 게임 웹사이트 she continued in the video, per "."
MyKayla also claimed that the U.S. Center for SafeSport, a nonprofit that helps end abuse in athletics, played a part in the 바카라 게임 웹사이트lack of effort바카라 게임 웹사이트 from the athletes.
바카라 게임 웹사이트Like, coaches can바카라 게임 웹사이트t get on athletes and they have to be really careful what they say,바카라 게임 웹사이트 she said. 바카라 게임 웹사이트Which, in some ways is really good, but at the same time, to get to where you need to be in gymnastics you do have to be, I feel, like, a little aggressive and a little intense.바카라 게임 웹사이트
Have other athletes said anything about the drama?
Suni Lee, who competed alongside Simone on July 30, also tapped into the conversation with a comment on Simone바카라 게임 웹사이트s celebratory post. 바카라 게임 웹사이트Put a finger down if Simone Biles just ended you,바카라 게임 웹사이트 the gold medalist wrote while men바카라 게임 웹사이트s gymnast Stephen Nedoroscik added, 바카라 게임 웹사이트Caption goes crazy, congratulations!!바카라 게임 웹사이트

Skinner apologized for her comments multiple times before the Olympics
Before the block, MyKayla took to her Instagram to explain her perspective and apologize for her comments. Per , the Olympic gymnast said 바카라 게임 웹사이트a lot of the stuff바카라 게임 웹사이트 she talked about in her YouTube video 바카라 게임 웹사이트wasn바카라 게임 웹사이트t always necessarily about the current team, because I love and support all the girls that made it and I바카라 게임 웹사이트m so proud of them.바카라 게임 웹사이트
바카라 게임 웹사이트It was more about going back into my own gym, just the work ethic is different compared to when we were doing gymnastics in the Márta era. And I바카라 게임 웹사이트m not sticking up for Márta or saying what she did was good, I바카라 게임 웹사이트m just saying it was different,바카라 게임 웹사이트 she said, clarifying that she was referencing the pressure she experienced while being coached by Márta Károlyi. 바카라 게임 웹사이트So, anyway, sorry for anything that got out of context or seemed hurtful. That is never my intention. And seriously, throughout the video, I was so pumped for the girls, and it was so fun watching trials and doing a live with everybody.바카라 게임 웹사이트
She also penned a lengthy apology on Instagram, which was posted ahead of the Olympics on July 3.
"I want to formally apologize to Team USA and to our gymnastic community for my comments during my recent YouTube episodes of the gymnastics olympic trials. It was not my intention to offend or disrespect any of the athletes or to take away from their hard work. Your hard work and dedication has paid off and I congratulate each and every one of you,바카라 게임 웹사이트 she wrote in part.
바카라 게임 웹사이트I take full responsibility for what I said and I deeply apologize. It is most important to me that the sport I love continue down the path of healing and ensures a positive environment for all,바카라 게임 웹사이트 she finished, wishing the team luck in Paris.
