"Simone Biles competing on one leg at the moment": "She’s so unserious"-Fans react as gymnast stuns despite apparent injury at Paris Olympics

Simone Biles was spotted limping off the floor during the women's qualifications at the Paris Olympics 2024. Despite that, the seven-time Olympic medalist rose back for a stellar routine on Vault and uneven bars exercise, and fans are in awe of the American’s determination.

Biles started off with a balance beam routine and earned a massive score of 14.733. The four-time Olympic champion started competing next in the floor exercise, and was sensational again, particularly with her popular tumbling pass at the end.

However, the 27-year-old was spotted limping off the floor before the start of her vault routine. "Gymnastics Now" on X remarked:

"Simone (Biles) is clearly dealing with some kind of calf/lower leg thing, but either it's not major or she is going on pure adrenaline."

While the extent of the apparent injury is not known yet, fans were left in awe of Simone Biles, who went on to show her brilliance on vault and uneven bars, which also included landing an incredible Yurchenko Double Pike.

A fan wrote:

"Simone Biles will always be famous. Dealing with an injury at the Olympics and having fun & finding joy while pushing through it. What an icon."

Another fan highlighted Biles walking on her knees on the floor and wrote,

"She’s basically competing on one leg at the moment. On a serious note.. I hope she’s ok and it’s nothing serious," they wrote.

Here are some more reactions:

"She’s so unserious," a fan wrote.

"She is just amazing. She really seems to be having fun out there. The pressure is off. She is doing it for herself. I hope she gets some much needed rest. Grit and determination," another fan wrote.

"Simone Biles CRAWLING on vault omg idk how she is able to laugh and keep her spirits up after an injury like I would be in tears 100%," a fan commented.

"How iconic was she with the bars after a slight injury?! Only you @Simone_Biles, ONLY YOU!!!" another fan commented.
