"Who are you? Even in your sport, people don't know who you are, and you want to judge three of the greatest in the world in their sport? You don't know the "Olympic Spirit" because you have never been there and never will be. So shhhhh!" One remarked.

Simone Biles expresses admiration for Rebeca Andrade and her competitive spirit
Rebeca Andrade concluded the Paris Olympics with a total of four medals. She secured silver in both the all-around and vault events and also claimed a bronze medal in the team final representing Brazil.
"I have so much respect for her. She's such a good competitor," Biles commented on Andrade during NBC's 'Today' show. "She keeps me on my toes. It’s an honor to get to compete with her."
She gave her all for Biles and the American team. Biles concluded the Paris Olympics with four medals, bringing her total to 11. At the press conference, she humorously remarked that she no longer wished to compete against Andrade.
"I’ve never had an athlete so close," Biles added. "This definitely kept me alert and brought out the best athlete in me. So I’m excited and proud to compete with her, but – no."
She went on to say, "I’ve never been so stressed before. Thank you, Rebeca."
