“EVERYONE WATCHES WOMENS SPORTS,” Biles wrote on X after the game. “so happy to be able to go support! my first of many WNBA games.”
Simone Biles picked a good night to attend her first WNBA game.
Weeks after winning three gold medals and a silver at the Paris Olympics, the U.S. gymnastics great was on hand Wednesday to see Caitlin Clark break the league rookie record for three-pointers in a season as the Indiana Fever defeated the Connecticut Sun 84-80 at Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis.
“EVERYONE WATCHES WOMENS SPORTS,” Biles wrote on X after the game. “so happy to be able to go support! my first of many WNBA games.”
U.S. sprinter Gabby Thomas, who also won three gold medals in Paris, was there as well. She echoed Biles’ sentiments on X.
“First WNBA game of many!” Thomas wrote. “Had so much fun supporting these stars.”
The two Olympians met with the players after the game.
“The squad was ecstatic to meet Simone Biles and Gabby Thomas after our win,” the Fever posted on X, along with a video of player reactions that more than supported the statement.
In the video, Biles tells the players: “You got so excited. Oh, my God. It’s like usually the boys will just pass and be like, ‘Yo.’ But you’re so excited, that was so cool.”
Clark posted a portion of that video in her Instagram Stories, with the caption “lemme fan girl real quick.” She also put four heart emojis under a video Biles had posted of one of Clark’s three three-pointers in the game.
