26-year-old Simone Biles had already touched the stars when a young talent along with her mother moved to Houston. With her aspirations to follow the footsteps of the legend-in-making, Joscelyn Roberson joined Biles’ family-owned World Champions Center. United by passion for the gravity-defying craft that is gymnastics, the two now compete on the national and World’s stages.
The bond they share goes beyond the mats. A recently shared picture from the World Artistic Gymnastics Championship 2023 qualifiers shows the two buddies with the hilarious ‘throwing shade’ expression.

An Instagram post from Planet of Gymnastics has gone viral. The picture was captioned, “Caption this ???,” asking fans to come up with their own descriptions of the picture. In the photo, Simone Biles and her teammate Joscelyn Roberson are side by side at the Core Hydration Classic. Both were dressed in baby blue leotards. They looked deep in conversation with amusing expressions.
Biles looked confused as if she was wondering, “What’s going on?” Meanwhile, Roberson appeared almost stunned and surprised.
The call to caption the moment prompted a flood of fan responses, and some of them were pure comedy gold.
The Internet’s hilarious take on the picture
The request to caption the image opened a floodgate of fans hilariously giving their take. And some of the responses will leave you in splits. One fan humorously noted, “Dang, she tall… gotta be at least 5 feet. ??,” alluding to the fact that the two gymnasts are just four feet eight inches tall.
One fan couldn’t help but joke, “The Today Show is posting about Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift again?” After all, people can’t stop talking about Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift.
Another fan gave credit to the gymnastic powerhouses, saying, “Are those mere mortals?? Nope, not like that.” A fan quipped, “My coach when I call her over to watch a skill, and it’s hoorible.”
Another fan chimed in, saying, “That’s the guy over there said we can’t be friends with the gymnasts on the other teams.” Finally, one fan mused, “What in the backhand spring is that?!”
