PARIS — Simone Biles revealed that — officially at least — the nickname for the gold medal winning United States women’s gymnastics team is the “Golden Girls,” a nod to the oldest team in American history, including the 27-year-old Biles.
It’s the unofficial team name she first revealed that seems a lot more reflective of the mood and attitude of, if not the group, then at least Biles herself.
This is a Simone like we haven’t seen at the Olympics.
At the 2016 Rio Games she was a first timer, uber talented and seemingly without a worry in the world, just enjoying the ride to the top of the podium.
