25 world championship medals, 7 Olympic medals, the most decorated gymnast ever, and a recent recipient of the Presidential Medal of Freedom; ladies and gentlemen, that’s Simone Biles for you. All that glory under her name, and yet she can’t help people telling her to do stuff while she is public. Probably her 4’8 ft structure doesn’t alarm anyone, and that’s why people do not take her seriously.

However, having a similar airport encounter twice in such proximity of time means some people don’t know how much of a big deal gymnastics GOAT is.

This time a lady asked Simone Biles to be quiet

In her recent Twitter post, Simone Biles revealed, “not this random woman shushing me in the airport.”It seems like the most decorated gymnasts will have to get accustomed to these weird airport encounters. A couple of days ago, after returning from the Presidential Medal of Freedom ceremony, a flight attendant mistook her for a kid.

Biles shared a photo on her Instagram story where she wrote, “Not the flight attendant trying to give me a coloring book when I board….. I said ‘no I’m good I’m 25.”

It’s almost impossible to fathom how people can see the four-time Olympic gold medalist, Simone Biles, as a kid. Of course, comparatively, she has a small stature and is joyous to be around. But, she is a 25-year-old who is about to get married very soon. However, Biles added“The other flight attendant gave me a mimosa so we’re in the clear.”
