Olympic gymnast Simone Biles took a swipe at former National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) swimmer and host of OutKick’s “Gaines for Girls” Riley Gaines on Sunday for her advocacy in defense of women’s sports — but an old tweet shows that Biles seemingly made the exact same argument Gaines has been making for years.
Back in 2017, Biles tweeted: “ahhhh good thing guys don’t compete against girls or he’d take all the gold medals!!” The remark came after the World Artistic Gymnastics Championships in Canada, where male gymnast Xiao Ruoteng won the men’s all-around. American female athletes like Morgan Hurd and Jade Carey took home medals in the women’s category.

Fast forward to 2025, and Biles has now branded Gaines — a former NCAA swimmer who’s been outspoken about male athletes competing against women — as a “sick bully” and “sore loser.”
“You should be uplifting the trans community… maybe a transgender category in all sports!” Biles posted. “But instead… you bully them… No one in sports is safe with you around!”
Gaines fired back: “Oop don’t you hate it when your past self completely undermines your current nonsensical argument?”

How has 2025 Simone reconciled with the fact 2017 Simone was a ‘truly sick bully’ by her own standard? https://t.co/aQjKuNSmMh
