WHOS THE GRANDMA NOW: Simone Biles Teammate Aly Raisman Hits Back at HerGrandma R

Gymnastics is considered to be one of the toughest sports. Although gymnastics G.O.A.T Simone Biles makes it look effortless, it is not easy at all. The athlete was only 6 when she found her way to ultimate success. Since then, Biles started working towards a fixed goal and bagged her first Olympic gold medal in 2016. Apart from that, her charismatic persona never fails to impress fans and well-wishers. Gymnastics did not just offer her name and fame but also a few precious friends.

On their way back from the Rio Olympics, teammate Aly Raisman found the perfect opportunity to take revenge on the Olympic champion and called her grandma. 

A tit-for-tat situation for Simone Biles

Biles and Aly share a bond that’s beyond just being teammates. Not just that, their playful nature towards one another is also witnessed by fans.

The nation’s favorite Simone Biles once made fun of Aly and called her grandma over text. Sharing a screenshot of the text via Twitter, Aly dropped the hint for an act of revenge.

The 2016 Rio Olympics ended on a wonderful note for the team. It was exciting yet exhausting for Biles, given the number of medals she won. Even before the plane took off, the gymnast’s mind and body gave up and she fell asleep.

Amy saw this as a chance to take revenge. She immediately clicked a picture of the athlete and posted it on Instagram. The caption read, “Miss @simonebiles fell asleep before we took off. WHO’S THE GRANDMA NOW GUYS” 

2016 is one of the most remarkable years of their lives. Biles collected four gold and one bronze medal, which made her the greatest of the greatest. On the other hand, Aly brought home a gold medal in the team event; she became the third-most decorated Olympic gymnast in the history of America.

Even though 2020 was not a very fruitful year for Simone Biles, her actions inspired many. Withdrawing from the Olympics and prioritizing one’s mental health is not everyone’s cup of tea. Regardless of every difficulty, Biles dared to step down.

After Biles announced her withdrawal, her former teammate Aly showcased support through an Instagram post. Wish I could give you the biggest hug. Sending you all the love & support @simonebiles,” she wrote in the caption.
