‘Truly sick’: Superstar Olympian Simone Biles picks fight with Riley Gaines

by Mariane Angela

Olympic gymnastics icon Simone Biles called out former NCAA swimmer Riley Gaines for her vocal opposition to allowing transgender athletes to compete in women’s sports.

Gaines shared a comment regarding Champlin Park’s Class AAAA Softball State Champion for 2025, with a clear implication that the star player was male.

Comments off lol

To be expected when your star player is a boy https://t.co/2qY2onUhNW

Biles responded and said that this perspective fosters division and harms the transgender community, with some calling it a form of “bullying” instead of supporting inclusivity.

@Riley_Gaines_ You’re truly sick, all of this campaigning because you lost a race. Straight up sore loser. You should be uplifting the trans community and perhaps finding a way to make sports inclusive OR creating a new avenue where trans feel safe in sports. Maybe a transgender… https://t.co/pjpzuZ0AlO

“@Riley_Gaines_ You’re truly sick, all of this campaigning because you lost a race. Straight up sore loser. You should be uplifting the trans community and perhaps finding a way to make sports inclusive OR creating a new avenue where trans feel safe in sports. Maybe a transgender category IN ALL sports!!” Biles wrote. “But instead… You bully them… One things for sure is no one in sports is safe with you around!!!!!”
