Simone Biles has achieved incredible things in her gymnastics career at just 25 years of age. She is the most decorated gymnast of all time.

The Ohio-born Olympian hasn't competed in professional gymnastics since the 2020 Tokyo Olympics and has been taking an extended break from the sport.

Yesterday, she tweeted on her Twitter account to complain about her friends being busy and taking several days to answer her calls. The tweet contained a sense of humor, but Biles also tried to convey that she is getting older. The tweet has been attached below.

The great gymnast wrote:

"At the age where all my friends answer their phone in 5-7 business days."

Though the ace gymnast is being sarcastic, she understands that all of her friends are busy. Most people move into family life in their mid-20s whereas some strive hard to achieve success by concentrating on their professional life.

Though Biles has dedicated her time away from gymnastics to family and friends, she might be finding it hard now that her friends are taking a long time to answer her calls.

One user tweeted:

"What's a phone Simone?"

Another wrote:

"Guilty. Thankfully my phone now sends me reminders if I haven't answered a text in 2-3 days. Yes, I'm that bad."
