Simone Biles and Serena Williams share a good bond, despite being from different sports. But sometimes, unnecessary comments on celebrities’ posts create a fuss and sour moment. Recently, Williams and Biles met each other at an event jointly organized by Vanity Fair, Female Quotient, and Audemars Piguet, and their fans are elated seeing them together. But with love, some annoying comments also pour in.

Simone Biles took to her Instagram and somehow returned the favor to Williams and posted a carousel of events, including one with Williams. What did she caption? “Goated conversations.” Short, simple, and friendly response to Williams’ Instagram post about the same event. But one netizen commented on Biles’ post, “Humble yourself a little bit, could ya?” It seems an unnecessary remark, and Biles responded with a perfect reply. What did she say? “Oh, there’s always one. Imao.” Williams also commented on Biles’ post with a simple ‘Love.’

7-time Olympic gold medalist, Biles is considered one of the greatest gymnasts of all time. The same title has also been given to her by 23 Grand Slam title winner Serena Williams. After the event, Williams posted a few pictures on Instagram with the caption, “Yesterday, I sat with the goat, @simonebiles, at an EVENING OF IMPACTFUL CONVERSATION with @audemarspiguet, @vanityfair, @femalequotient, and a house full of women. I love to see it.” The GOAT nod from Williams is surely a massive respect for Biles.

Supporting and showing love for each other shows that both legends respect each other, and it’s not a one-way street. The love and respect between two GOATs from different sports is a sign of humbleness towards each other and their sports as well.

Simone Biles and Serena Williams are considered top players in their respective sports. While Biles is a most decorated gymnast with 11 Olympic medals, including 7 golds, Williams retired from tennis as one of the greatest athletes and uses their platform to advocate for mental health and empowerment. Both of them came together and supported entrepreneurs through the event.
