?Can?t Compare a Legend With a Champion?: Gymnastics World Baffled After Simone Biles Expresses Frustration Over Constantly Being Mistaken for Another US Gymnast

From a very young age,?Simone Arianne Biles?has worked hard and managed to cement her name in the history of the?gymnastics?world. Every gymnastics enthusiast, especially in the US, knows who Simone Biles is. After the efforts she has put in to create a name for herself, it is understandable why the gymnastics queen would be frustrated over being constantly mistaken for someone else. Simone Biles recently revealed that she has often been mistaken for the US gymnast, Gabby Douglas.

In the past, Biles has encountered a similar situation where a flight attendant?mistook her for a kid. It is one thing for someone to misjudge your age, but it is a totally different thing for people to constantly mistake your identity. It looks like the gymnast has reached her saturation point in this matter. Her fans, too, were shocked when they learned about the situation.

Simone Biles seems frustrated

Earlier today, Simone Biles tweeted about a frustrating recurring incident. Biles revealed people often mistake her for her fellow American gymnast, Gabby Douglas. While she might’ve taken it lightly in her rookie days, it happening years after achieving her level of success, baffles the gymnast. The soon-to-be bride tweeted,?“still getting called gabby douglas is crazy to me.”

For the unversed, Gabby Douglas, a.k.a. Gabrielle Christiana Victoria Douglas, is also an artistic gymnast like Biles. But unlike Biles’ 4’8″ stature, 27-year-old Douglas is 5’2″ tall. Their height difference is the biggest and the simplest aspect that puts the two apart. Therefore, it is natural for Biles to wonder how people can mistake their identities.

Hearing about the incident, Biles’ fans were also shocked that the gymnast has been facing such a situation for years. Soon they took to the comments section to share their thoughts while also trying to cheer up the gymnast.

Fans are bewildered after Biles’ revelation

Fans tried to console the gymnast and express themselves while also being respectful to Douglas. One such fan wrote, “I respect Gaby, but you can’t compare a legend with a champion.”
