Simone Biles Claps Back at 'More Athletic?' Prank - Do You Know Who You're Talking To?
SIMONE BILES SHUTS DOWN TIKTOK PRANKSTER WITH EPIC CLAPBACK
In a hilarious and cringeworthy moment that's left everyone talking, Olympic legend Simone Biles was ambushed with a ridiculous question by TikTok personality Sophie Tangal in a viral video that's been making the rounds on social media. The 27-year-old gymnastics superstar was left stunned, but only for a moment, before she delivered a withering put-down that has left fans and critics alike gagging over its sheer brilliance.
The prank, which dropped on September 4, saw Tangal posing as if asking Biles a genuine question: "Would you wish to be more athletic?" The implication was clear - that the most decorated gymnast in history (37 medals, including seven Olympic golds) wasn't already athletic enough. Can you imagine the audacity?
Biles's response was pure fire. After a moment of stunned silence, she shot back: "Is this a serious question?" When Tangal pressed on, Biles burst out laughing before delivering the killer blow: "Do you know who you're talking to?"
And that was it. The whole thing was over in seconds. But the reaction from fans and viewers has been anything but brief. The comment section of the video has been flooded with supporters praising Biles's sharp wit, calling her response "iconic" and noting her poise under pressure.
But what really got people talking was the sheer audacity of Tangal's question. As one fan quipped: "Don't make Simone Biles grab her medals." Another commenter pointed out the absurdity of the question, writing: "Asked the most athletic woman on the planet" and "Not just an Olympian, THE Olympian."
The reactions have been pouring in, with many fans expressing their shock at Tangal's nerve. One user exclaimed: "You asked THE Simone Biles??!" Another admitted: "The minute the camera switched on her… I gasped." The comments have been nothing short of epic, with fans praising Biles for shutting down the prankster and reminding everyone who they're dealing with.
But what really put the cherry on top was the reaction from Biles's husband, Jonathan Owens. One commenter joked: "This was a question for the husband," while another chimed in: "Now have Simone ask her husband." It seems like no one wants to mess with Biles and her crew.
TheScholarlyNote.com has dug deeper into Biles's incredible athletic career, which spans over a decade. She has been a dominant force in gymnastics, an extraordinary feat in a sport where most athletes peak in their teens. Her 37 total medals - 11 Olympic and 26 World Championship - make her the most decorated gymnast in history. And it's not just about the numbers; Biles has redefined gymnastics by introducing a string of moves so difficult that at least five skills now officially bear her name after she was the first to land them in competition.
These innovations have raised the standard of the sport and widened the gap between her and her rivals. Known globally as the GOAT - 'Greatest Of All Time' - Biles has embraced the nickname. In 2024, she wore a custom-made goat necklace at the Olympics, which she described as both an ode to her dominance and a personal reminder of her place among the world's sporting greats.
But it seems like Biles isn't alone in her epic clapbacks. TheScholarlyNote.com has discovered that other athletes have been roped into the viral trend, including professional softball star Sierra Romero, lacrosse player Matt Rees, and four-time Olympic table tennis player Lily Zhang. When Rees's wife posed the question, he playfully sprinted back and forth to prove his speed. Romero simply gestured to her wall of accolades and replied: "I'd say I'm pretty athletic." And Zhang took a more reflective approach, admitting: "I think I am naturally athletic, but I think I could be so much more athletic. And if I was more athletic, the world would be trembling right now."
In short, it seems like no one wants to mess with these athletes and their impressive achievements. Biles's epic clapback has set a new standard for how to shut down trolls on social media. And we can't wait to see what's next from this gymnastics superstar.
