Simone Biles is doubling down and shading fellow gymnast MyKayla Skinner in her latest Instagram post celebrating Team USA’s gold medal win in Paris.

“Lack of talent, lazy, Olympic champions,” 27-year-old Biles captioned a carousel of photos of herself and her fellow Team USA gymnasts, Jordan Chiles, Hezly Rivera, Jade Carey, and Suni Lee, celebrating their win on Tuesday. Team USA scored 171.296 to win the first-place spot, with Italy snagging silver and Brazil taking home bronze.

The caption undoubtedly refers to a now-deleted YouTube video Skinner posted about the 2024 roster of gymnasts. “Besides Simone, I feel like the talent and the depth just isn’t like what it used to be…The girls just don’t have the work ethic,” Skinner said in the video. Skinner competed with Biles at the 2020 Tokyo Games and retired from the sport in July 2021.
