    Suni Lee loved that Simone Biles called out MyKayla Skinner after Team USA gymnastics' Olympic gold medal

    Elite competitors can find motivation anywhere. And for U.S. gymnastics star Simone Biles, that extra motivation came from a former teammate.

    In the lead-up to the Paris Olympics, former Team USA women’s gymnastics star MyKayla Skinner offered a pointed criticism of the current group heading to Paris. Skinner — in a YouTube appearance — claimed that this year’s team lacked the talent, depth and work ethic of previous Team USA squads. Skinner did eventually apologize for the remarks, but you best believe that the team remembered those comments after Tuesday’s Olympic gold medal-winning performance.

    Biles mocked Skinner’s comments in a celebratory Instagram post. And Olympic teammate Suni Lee particularly loved how Biles called out Skinner.

    In a comment on the initial post, Lee wrote, “Put a finger down if Simone Biles just ended you.”

    Skinner apparently didn’t take kindly to the shade either as it looked like she blocked Biles.
