Simone Bilesset the record straight.
When the 26-year-old gold medalist saw a since-deleted post from ESPNW on X (formerly known as Twitter) incorrectly count her gold medal wins, Biles sent a public correction — which the outlet quickly made.
“Seven years ago today, Simone Biles won the women’s vault final in Rio. That night, Biles became the first U.S. female gymnast to win three gold medals at one Olympics," ESPNW wrote in their initial tweet.
Biles replied, “this is awkward…I won 4.”
ESPNW quickly realized their error and replied to Biles.
“Same page,” the account replied, adding a goat emoji, referring to the gold medalist as one of the “Greatest Of All Time.”
The new version of theirpostreflects Biles' four gold medals from the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Olympics. She won three individual gold medals and another with the United States team that year.

As summer winds down, Biles is focused on her upcoming competitions — and potentially the 2024 Paris Olympics. Earlier this month, she dominated the Core Hydration Classic with an overall score of 59.100 in her first return to gymnastics since the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.
“Happy to be back out on the floor! This journey has been a rollercoaster of emotions. Thank you for believing in me,” Biles added on Twitter.
Owens, 27, and Biles married earlier this year.
