Internet says Simon Biles faked her injury for 'attention'

Netizens were skeptical about Simon Biles' possible injury suffered during the qualification round.

One X user tweeted, "She always gives herself an out 'in case' she doesn't do well. Just like 4 years ago."

Another added, "Will give her an excuse if she doesn't win gold. That and her 'mental health' wouldn't let her overcome her injury."

"Faking an injury so when she wins they can prop her up as some legend after she quit the last time," slammed one.

Someone else remarked, "She’s following the Lebron James playbook for attention."
