Simone Biles made fun of herself in a lighthearted way after the gymnast went viral as a meme during the Olympics.
Biles not only surprised the Parisian crowd with her gold medal performance at the Games, but also entertained the vast social media audience with a hilarious viral moment.
During the broadcast of the Olympic gymnastics competitions, Biles and her Team USA teammates were seen chatting with each other as they stretched and warmed up.
However, the video captured a moment of the unsuspecting 27-year-old that immediately sent the internet into a frenzy.
Biles was caught in the middle of a conversation when she suddenly stopped what she was doing, jumped to attention, turned to the camera and glanced into the lens.

The moment went viral on social media and spawned new memes, with some users comparing her to character Raven Baxter from the hit Disney Channel series “That’s So Raven,” the Mona Lisa, a librarian, and irritated friends.
The Olympic legend also saw the humor in it and took the now viral attention to her own TikTok page.
In a clip shared on the social media platform, a headsnap is performed in response to various hypothetical situations.
“When I hear someone on the couch talking about the routine,” and “when someone brings up women’s sports,” and also “The jump when she sees her coming,” some of the captions read, as Biles jokingly looks straight-faced into the camera.
Biles went viral again this past weekend, this time for her actions at her husband’s NFL game.
Biles’ quick attention set the internet alight and provided new meme material
The gymnast, still enjoying her three Olympic gold medals in Paris, caused outrage on Saturday with her controversial competition fit at Soldier Field.
The 27-year-old woman supported her husband, Jonathan Owens, during the Chicago Bears’ practice game against the Cincinnati Bengals, wearing a custom jacket featuring black-and-white images of Owens.
However, the Olympic legend made a rookie mistake in the NFL, as several photos showed Owens in action for the Green Bay Packers, the longtime rivals of the Bears and his former team.
Her attempts to make a touching and encouraging gesture toward Owens landed Biles in the middle of one of the fiercest rivalries in the competition. Fans were far from impressed, even claiming that she should be stripped of “all her medals” for her fashion faux pas.

Biles, the Paris Olympic all-around champion, may have flirted with controversy in soccer, but she has brushed aside the negative reactions by making it clear where her loyalties lie.
With just over two weeks left until the start of the 2024 NFL season, Biles showed her support for Owens and Chicago by sending a “bear down” message to X, formerly known as Twitter.
The gymnastics icon shared two photos of herself inside the iconic stadium, but made sure to keep the Packers logos on her jacket out of sight.
On Saturday, in addition to photos of Owens in a Packers uniform, a large Green Bay logo was also seen on the shoulder pad in certain snapshots and videos.
