American gymnasts superstar Simone party has drifted into a fierce word for a former swimmer Riley Gaines with.
Gaines criticizes the minnesota high school Softball team with a star player to be a transgender feeder Marissa Rothenberger. Rothenberger played his team’s championship without a single run in the final match.
“It’s not surprising when the star player is a boy,” Gaines wrote the Softball team on the team of the championship.
Biles did not remain silent from the ex-swimmer’s comment.
– You’re really sick. All this campaign because you lost one race yourself. To put it bluntly, you are a bad loser.
The 28-year-old seven-time Olympic medalist, on the other hand, urged Gaines to support the Transa Community.
– You should find a way to make sports safe for everyone. Maybe your own category for transgerts for all sports? But instead, you tease them. One thing is certain, no one is safe in sports around you.
Gaines, 25, responded to Biles in the message service X.
– This is really disappointing. Simone Biles defend men at the expense of young girls’ dreams? I wouldn’t have believed.
BBC According to Gaines, Gaines was one of several university athletes who challenged the US University Sports Reaching Organization (NCAA) in March 2024.
They blame the organization for violating their rights because it allowed a transgender Lia Thomas compete in the women’s championship in 2022. At that time, Gaines and Thomas gave fifth place, but the prize was only given to Thomas.
The incident made Gaines an active opponent to participate in the women’s sports in the women’s series. According to him, transgender athletes threaten fair competition and even the safety of other athletes.
In recent years, the position of transers in women’s series has become one of the most controversial topics in US sports policy.
In February President Donald Trump signed a order to prohibit transmers’ participation in women’s sports at federal level. Prior to this, 27 states had already imposed restrictions or prohibitions on the involvement of trans athlete.
