Simone Biles Speaks Out After Video Goes Viral Of Black Gymnast Being Skipping Over During Medal Ceremony
24.09.2023 - 22:43 / perezhilton.com
Simone Biles is speaking out over an awful incident that happened a gymnastics competition.
Over the weekend, a video of a medal ceremony from a gymnastics event in Dublin, Ireland, went viral on X (Twitter) — and the footage is heartbreaking. The clip, originally taken in March 2022 but posted on Friday, showed a group of young gymnasts waiting in line for their awards following the competition. And one woman purposefully skipped the only Black athlete while handing out the medals. See (below):

This is gut-wrenching to witness. Social media users were enraged by the footage, including Simone. She took to the comments section of the video to express her disappointment over the moment:
Fellow gymnastic Jordan Chiles also spoke out, saying:
After the video went viral, Gymnastics Ireland released a statement on the matter, claiming what happened was not “intentional” and the issue was settled in August of 2023:
The organization added that the official “expressed deep regret for what they described as an honest error” and “a written apology provided by the identified individual has since been issued to the competitor and her family.”
However, the child’s mom has since said this never happened. She told the Irish Independent on Sunday that the issue was not settled through mediation as claimed and the “written apology” over the racist behavior was a one-line letter addressed to “to whom it concerns.” Seriously? They couldn’t even address it to the young girl who was clearly hurt by what happened?!
Our heart breaks for this family. Reactions, Perezcious readers? Let us know in the comments below.
