Simone Biles just reminded us all that she’s not only the G.O.A.T. in gymnastics (because, hello, 11 Olympic medals and over 30 World Championship titles), but she’s also crushing the Instagram caption game.

The 27-year-old gymnast recently hit up VTEX Connect Live in NYC on Monday, January 13, where she participated in a fireside chat as an athlete and advocate. The event focused on her journey of resilience, leadership and all-around boss energy. But the real highlight? Biles reunited with fellow Olympian and Brazil native Rebeca Andrade, whom she competed against at the 2024 Paris Olympics. Biles shared the sweet moment on social media—and her caption? Absolute gold.

"I know vault hate to see us coming," she wrote, a cheeky nod to both of their insane gymnastics skills.

Andrade herself dropped into the comments with, "Yess hahah," and fans couldn’t get enough of the wholesome interaction. One person wrote, "This is what class and women supporting women looks like." Another chimed in, "Women supporting women," while a third gushed over Biles’s wordplay, "This caption is everything."

ICYMI, Andrade snagged the gold medal in the floor exercise during the 2024 Paris Olympics, while Biles earned silver and Jordan Chiles took bronze. In a moment that fans still talk about, Biles and Chiles bowed down to Andrade on the podium to celebrate her victory.

During a press event after the ceremony, Biles shared that the bow was actually Chiles’s idea. "First, it was an all-Black podium, so that was super exciting for us," she said. "But then Jordan was like, ‘Should we bow to her?’ And I was like, ‘Absolutely…[It was] the right thing to do.’”

As for Andrade, Biles couldn’t stop praising her. "She's such an excitement to watch," the Texas native said. "She's so amazing, she's queen."

And with moments like these, it’s clear that Simone is always lifting others up, whether it’s on the mat or online.
