    Simone Biles is a WNBA fan now.

    The U.S. Olympic gymnast and gold medal-winning track star Gabby Thomas took the trip to Gainbridge Fieldhouse on Wednesday in Indianapolis to see Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fever beat the Connecticut Sun, 84-80, meeting the victorious home squad after the game.

    Both Thomas and Biles were shown on the video board during the contest, with both waving to the Fever supporters, with the gymnast adding a heart hands gesture.
