U.S. Olympic champion gymnast Simone Biles jumped to the protection of American skier Mikaela Shiffrin on Thursday after Shiffrin shared on Instagram one of the vital abusive feedback she’s won following her disappointing performances on the Beijing Video games, the place she did not win a person medal.
“I do know this all too neatly, I’m sorry you’re experiencing this,” Biles replied to Shiffrin’s submit, referencing the equally-unwarranted barrage of vitriol geared toward her after her “twisties”-hit Tokyo Video games.
“Other people suck,” she wrote, summing up the trolls in two phrases.
“Simply be mindful how AMAZING you’re,” Biles suggested Shiffrin, who will compete within the blended workforce parallel on Saturday.
“We’re all cheering for you, happy with you, love&beef up you,” she added. “Cross kick some ass saturday! However most significantly, include the instant. Have amusing (middle) love ya!!!”
Not too long ago-engaged Biles in a similar way supported Shiffrin after her 2nd “didn’t end” on the Video games, sharing 3 hearts on social media.
