At 27 years old, Simone Biles is proving that her sense of humor is just as sharp as her gymnastics skills. The Olympic champion recently joined in on a popular internet joke, hilariously recreating a viral moment from the Tokyo Olympics. The moment in question? When Biles whipped her head to the side during warm-ups, her attention suddenly caught by something off-camera. The quick reaction was captured on video and soon became meme gold, spreading rapidly across social media as fans celebrated her historic achievements at the Paris Games, where she became the most decorated American gymnast in Olympic history.
In her recreation, Biles creatively reimagined the moment, reacting to a series of humorous scenarios that would make anyone snap to attention. The first situation had her turning her head sharply with the caption, “Hearing someone on their couch has comments on the routine.” Next, she poked fun at a common dining dilemma with, “When the drink he ordered starts looking like the drink you should’ve ordered.”
Biles didn’t stop there. The meme continued with a nod to her passion for sports equality: “When someone mentions women’s sports,” prompting another swift head turn. The video concluded with a lighthearted twist, as Biles laughed and smiled while turning her head one last time, this time from the perspective of “the vault when it sees her coming.”
To top it off, Biles tagged Netflix in the caption of her TikTok video, adding a string of eye emojis for emphasis. This playful nod makes perfect sense, as the gymnast is currently starring in her own Netflix docuseries, “Simone Biles Rising.” The series gives fans an inside look at her life and career, offering a deeper understanding of the dedication and resilience that have made her an iconic figure in the sport.
Biles didn’t just share the video on TikTok. She took to X (formerly known as Twitter) to repost the video from Netflix’s account, adding, “I actually do this all the time,” further endearing her to fans who love seeing this lighter side of the gymnastics star.

Fresh off her return from Paris, where she added four more gold medals to her already impressive collection, Biles was spotted supporting her husband, Jonathan Owens, at Soldier Field in Chicago. Owens, who plays as an NFL safety, was in preseason action with the Chicago Bears, and Biles was there cheering him on as they faced the Cincinnati Bengals.
Owens had previously been granted permission to miss part of the Bears’ mandatory training camp to support Biles at the Olympics, where he witnessed her historic win in the all-around final. However, he had to return to the team before she competed in the individual finals, where she secured silver medals in the beam and floor exercises.
After the whirlwind of the Olympics, Biles shared a makeup-free selfie from bed on her Instagram Stories, captioning it, “Never been so happy,” signaling that she’s glad to be back home and ready for some well-deserved rest.
Despite her busy schedule and relentless pursuit of excellence, Biles continues to engage with her fans in fun and meaningful ways, proving that she’s not just a champion in the gym but also a true star in the world of entertainment.
