Simone Biles Earns New Nickname After Admitting Junk Food Weakness at 2024 Paris Olympics

One of the most entertaining things about the Olympics every few years is the incredible irony that comes from sports fans — many of whom are watching the Games from a couch at home — criticizing and judging these world-class athletes for minor mistakes.
In reality, very few of these fans could ever come close to achieving some of the athletic feats that these Olympic stars are attempting. Rather, the fans are left sitting at home, eating their junk food and watching in awe.
Well, it turns out that these fans may not be so different from some of the Olympians.
During some of her downtime in Paris, U.S. gymnast Simone Biles — who won her 11th Olympic medal on Monday — revealed that she still indulges in a cheat meal every now and again. That junk food of choice? It's very relatable.

Who doesn't love a glizzy? Biles revealed over the weekend that she is incapable of passing them by, which earned her a new nickname on social media.
"Glizzy-loving queen" has a nice ring to it, doesn't it?
While hot dogs have become among the most beloved quasi-junk food meals in America over the decades, it's strangely comforting to know that even our nation's most accomplished athletes indulge in them every now and again — or in Simone's case, every opportunity they get.
