    Simone Biles Unintentionally Roasts USA Men’s Gymnastics Team on 'Tonight Show'

    Olympic gold medalist Simone Biles has taken every opportunity she can to hype up and promote her Gold Over America Tour this summer.

    So when Jimmy Fallon asked her what to expect from the event during her appearance on “The Tonight Show” on Wednesday night, Biles gushed about everything she has planned for those in attendance.

    But as she went over the details of the tour and who would be coming with, Biles unintentionally took a jab at the U.S. men’s gymnastics team in the most lighthearted way.

    “It's basically a gymnastics spectacular of Olympians,” Biles said. “We have a couple international elites joining us as well that have gone to the Olympics. So, think pop-style concert with gymnastics. It's going to be so much fun.

    “We have the guys on our tour this time and they actually medaled, so congrats to them...first time since 2008. No, that's great. … They're going to kill me.”

    Fallon tried his best to smooth things over.

    “That was not a dig," he exclaimed. "We're saying we're happy for you — they finally medaled."

    Paul Juda, Brody Malone and Frederick Richard, who will all join Biles on the GOAT tour, won bronze at the 2024 Paris Olympics in the team final along with Asher Hong and Stephen Nedoroscik, who won’t be on the tour. It marked the first Olympic medal for the U.S. men's gymnastics team in 16 years.

    Others advertised for the tour include Jordan Chiles, Jade Carey and Hezly Rivera, who all won gold in the women’s team final with Biles and Suni Lee, plus Ellie Black, Joscelyn Roberson and many others.

    The Gold Over America Tour begins on Sept. 16 and runs through Nov. 3 with stops in more than 30 cities across the U.S.
