Block by block, Simone Biles is building an unforgettable Paris Olympics resume. She added another big block to it on Wednesday.
After leading the U.S. women's gymnastics team to a gold medal and becoming the most decorated American gymnast in Olympics history, Biles made sure certain people didn't forget it.
In an Instagram post featuring a collage of photos from Tuesday's competition, she appeared to reference a comment from former American Olympic gymnast MyKayla Skinner with a caption that read "Lack of talent, lazy, Olympic champions."

Prior to the start of the Paris Olympics, Skinner said, "Besides Simone, I feel like the talent and the depth just isn’t like what it used to be. Just notice, like, I mean, obviously a lot of girls don’t work as hard. The girls just don’t have the work ethic," in a since-deleted YouTube video, according to the New York Post.
After making light of Skinner's comments with her Instagram post, Biles later sent a post that read, "oop I’ve been blocked," on X on Wednesday.
Currently, Biles and Skinner are not following each other on X or on Instagram.
Skinner was part of the 2020 Tokyo Olympics team and won a silver medal on vault. Skinner replaced Biles, who had to withdraw from the competition due to a case of the twisties.
