She drew the ire of Olympic gymnast Biles<\/a>, 28, last week.<\/p>\n

Biles labeled Gaines “truly sick” in a post on X.<\/p>\n

It was in reference to Gaines’ remarks on a Minnesota State High School League softball game.<\/p>\n

Chaplin Park girl’s team celebrated winning the State Championship.<\/p>\n

But Gaines claims that comments were turned off on the social media post because their team had a transgender player.<\/p>\n

“Comments off lol,” Gaines wrote.<\/p>\n

“To be expected when your star player is a boy.”<\/p>\n

Biles labeled Gaines a “bully” and said “no one in sports is safe with you around.”<\/p>\n

The gymnast said, “You’re truly sick, all of this campaigning because you lost a race. Straight up a sore loser.”<\/p>\n

The comment from Biles was seemingly in reference to Gaines’ failed legal challenges to overturn a result.<\/p>\n

Gaines finished tied fifth with transgender woman Lia Thomas in the 200m freestyle at the 2022 NCAA Championships.<\/p>\n

Biles added, “You should be uplifting the trans community and perhaps finding a way to make sports inclusive or creating a new avenue where trans feel sage in sports.<\/p>\n

“Maybe a transgender category in all sports.<\/p>\n

“But instead you bully them.<\/p>\n

“One things for sure is no one in sports is safe with you around.”<\/p>\n

Biles later followed up, “Bully someone your own size, which ironically would be a male.”<\/p>\n

But Gaines has hit back at Biles by claiming to have unearthed a tweet from 2017.<\/p>\n

“Ahhhh good thing guys don’t compete against girls or he’d take all the gold medals,” Biles’ message eight years ago read.<\/p>\n

The tweet was sent during the 2017 World Artistic Gymnastics Championships in Canada.<\/p>\n

The context of Biles’ tweet is not known with the gymnast not competing in that event.<\/p>\n

But Gaines followed up, “Oop don\u2019t you hate it when your past self completely undermines your current nonsensical argument?<\/p>\n

“How has 2025 Simone reconciled with the fact 2017 Simone was a ‘truly sick bully’ by her own standard?”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
