Simone Biles Reveals Her Olympic Team's Official Nickname, And It's So Fitting
HuffPost
Earlier, she had to censor out an expletive when she shared another nickname suggestion at a press conference.
Simone Biles has unveiled the “official team name” of the Olympic gold medal-winning U.S. women’s gymnastics squad: the Golden Girls.
“Because oldest olympic team,” she tweeted.
The gymnastics great earned her fifth gold medal on Tuesday night alongside teammates Suni Lee, Jordan Chiles, Jade Carey and Hezly Rivera.
At 27, Biles is the oldest American woman to win an Olympic medal in gymnastics in 76 years. She was the oldest to compete since 1952. With an average age of 22.5, the group itself is also the oldest American team since that year.
Biles added a shoutout “to cecile” for the name, apparently referring to her coach Cecile Landi.
