As the Simone Biles-led Gold Over America Tour rolled into its 19th stop in St. Charles, Simone Biles couldn’t resist sharing some pre-show shenanigans. But before we dive into that, let’s rewind to last month when the GOAT tour kicked off its second season and took the headlines by storm! Why? Well, for starters, Biles had just bagged three shiny golds at the Paris Olympics and was running the show.
Plus, this season marked the first time male gymnasts joined the fun! Simone said, “Bringing the guys on board was designed to show what men’s gymnastics has to offer.” Now, as the phenom pops back into the news, it’s not just about her record-breaking performances or all that GOAT tour hype. Nope, this time she’s serving up some playful vibes, showcasing the fun side, or let’s just say some failed practice sessions of the tour!

On October 15, Simone Biles hopped onto Instagram stories and gave fans a hilarious sneak peek as she and the crew prepared to shine at The Family Arena in Saint Charles, Missouri. The 11-time Olympic medalist has been showing off some new skills lately, dabbling in everything from tumbling to moves from men’s gymnastics. But during one rehearsal, she had a cheeky moment of ‘oops.’ Posting a shot of herself mid-practice on the high bars (usually reserved for men’s gymnastics), she captioned it with the meme-worthy line: “It was at this moment I knew I f–ked up.” Judging by the pic, she might’ve taken a little tumble right after.
But leave it to Biles to laugh it off! She’s not just a master of routines—she’s a master of humor and staying on top of social media trends. So, what’s the deal with this viral trend Simone Biles’ is hopping on?
It’s tied to a wildly popular TikTok audio, where the phrase “It was at this moment he knew he messed up” gets used in fail videos for comedic effect when things go hilariously wrong. And let’s not forget, this isn’t Simone Biles’ first time diving into meme culture. While she’s referencing one now, she’s had her own moments of meme fame in the past.
