During Simone Biles’ recent stop on the *Gold Over America Tour* (GOAT Tour), a fan in the crowd shouted, “We’re gonna miss you!” expressing the collective love and admiration of her fans as she nears what many suspect could be the latter part of her competitive gymnastics career. Caught up in the excitement and focus of the performance, Biles didn’t respond to the fan directly in the moment. However, after the event, she took to social media to share a heartfelt response, acknowledging the fan’s sentiment.
In her post, Biles expressed deep gratitude to her supporters, explaining that every cheer and kind word means the world to her, especially during the tour where she gets to connect directly with her fans across the country. She apologized for not reacting in real-time but assured the fan that their message was heard and truly appreciated. The response resonated widely, as fans continue to show immense appreciation and respect for Biles’ contributions to gymnastics and sports culture.
Her words served as a reminder of the profound impact she’s had on countless fans, both on and off the mat. Whether or not she decides to compete in future Olympic games, Biles’ legacy as a gymnast and role model remains unshakeable.
