Simone Biles asks the media to stop asking one question: ‘Let us soak up the moment’

(KTLA) – Simone Biles has cemented her legacy as one of the greatest gymnasts of all time as she earned three gold medals and one silver during the 2024 Paris Olympics.

In the meantime, the GOAT has one request to the media and reporters attending games: Let the athletes live in the moment and bask in their glory.

“You guys really gotta stop asking athletes what’s next after they win a medal at the Olympics,” she wrote on X, formerly Twitter. “Let us soak up the moment we’ve worked our whole lives for.”

A user on X then cheekily responded asking Biles what she plans on doing next.

She didn’t skip a beat, responding with: “Babysitting the medal.”

Biles has 11 Olympic medals in total.
