    WNBA legend Lisa Leslie was among the many star-struck fans who watched Simone Biles put forth a gritty performance in Sunday's qualifying.

    Despite suffering an injury to her calf during a floor routine warmup, Biles went on to notch the best overall score of the day — furthering her reputation as the undisputed gymnastics GOAT.

    Leslie took to Biles' Instagram comment section to react to her stunning Olympic performance.

    "Grateful to be able to watch you," Leslie wrote under some photos from Sunday's qualifying.

    Leslie is no stranger to Olympic success. The all-time great women's basketball superstar led Team USA to four consecutive Olympic gold medals from 1996-2008 — becoming the second basketball player in history to record four golds.
