Simone Biles Jokes About Fans ‘Couch Judging’ Gymnasts Amid 2024 Paris Olympics

Simone Biles joked about some of the critical comments directed toward some of the world’s best athletes during the 2024 Olympics and called it ‘couch judging.’

Simone Biles joked about viewers’ critical comments directed toward athletes during the 2024 Paris Olympics when she teased fans for judging Olympians’ performances. Aaron Reitz, the former Texas Attorney General, was particularly harsh when he shared a video of former Olympic gymnast Kerri Strug, who competed with an ankle injury in 1996 and ended up helping Team USA win gold. However, several others applauded Simone and her decision to put her mental health first, including the brands Athleta and Visa, which were both sponsors for the Games that year.
