Simone Biles’ early-June attack on OutKick’s Riley Gaines, for which she’s since apologized, apparently isn’t out of character for the decorated Olympic gymnast.

Late Friday, MyKayla Skinner, a silver medalist in the 2020 Games, detailed the bullying and belittling she received from Biles in an official statement to One America News (OAN). Skinner and Biles were teammates at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. When Biles was unable to compete because of a mental health issue, Skinner replaced her on the vault, placing second.
Now, Skinner’s speaking out about her former teammate:

“As an athlete who has dedicated years to a sport, I’ve always believed that true competition should elevate us – not diminish others. That’s why it’s deeply troubling to see @Simone_Biles publicly label a fellow female athlete a ‘sore loser’ – simply for expressing valid concerns about fairness in women’s sports,” Skinner said in her statement to OAN.
