Recently, when the official gymnastics page added Biles’s update from US Classic, Shiffrin showered her with love on her Instagram story. She added three red hearts and tagged Biles to express her support.

A year after restoring her strength, Shiffrin backed up Biles just when she likely needed it. Well, the Olympic golds and titles aside, it was all that mattered then. Over social media, they have frequently stepped up for one another in the last several years.
