Superstar gymnast Simone Biles to her critics: "I can't hear you over my 7 olympic medals"

2021-09-07 00:00:00

Simone Biles has long been one of my daughter's heroes, and thus mine. This Instagram post is one of the best I have seen on the platform:

can't believe it's already been a month.

Definitely not the way I planned the olympics going but I wouldn't change anything for the world 🤎 I'm proud of myself and the career I've had thus far. this olympics doesn't erase the past accomplishments I've achieved nor does it define who I am as an athlete. I've pushed through so much the past couple years , the word quitter is not in my vocabulary. for some of you that may be how you define me but keep talking because I can't hear you over my 7 olympic medals which tied me for the most decorated gymnast EVER as well as most decorated american gymnast 😊🤭
