Gabby Logan and Simone Biles both express criticism towards Olympic correspondents.
Gabby shared Simone’s appeal with her 453,000 followers on her X account and added her own comments. “This is such an amazing time,” she wrote. “You’re the best in the world… but what’s next? Let them have their moment.”
Gabby, a former rhythmic gymnast, knows her stuff. Although she didn’t reach the impressive heights of Simona’s career, Gabby proudly represented Wales at just eleven years old during the 1990 Commonwealth Games in Auckland. On another note, Simone is lauded as history’s most decorated gymnast and remains drawn to performing routines in Paris. U.S athletes have already secured three medals with two more competitions on their agenda there. However, Simone was frustrated by questions about herself and her peers while competing in France; thus urging journalists and fans alike not to speculate prematurely about an athlete’s next move post-Olympic victory – advocating instead for them savoring their successes currently before worrying over future endeavors.
“We should refrain from immediately asking athletes about their next steps after winning an Olympic medal,” she wrote on X. In another tweet, Biles added, “Savor this moment you’ve dedicated your entire life to achieving.”
Before the Paris Olympics, numerous fans speculated that it might be her final performance since she would turn 31 by the time of the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics.
Maria Gorokhovskaya holds the record as the oldest gymnast to clinch the all-around title, achieving this feat at 30 years old for the Soviet Union in 1952. On Friday, Simone took home gold in women’s vaulting. In prior competitions, she has also secured gold medals both with her team in women’s artistic gymnastics and individually. Athletes from Ohio have consistently won a total of ten Olympic medals, with prospects looking favorable for increasing their medal count soon.
