Watch Team USA track stars’ brilliant reaction to finding out Simone Biles watched them compete at Olympics
Team USA track and field stars Tara Davis-Woodhall and Jasmine Moore beamed with excitement when they heard that Simone Biles had tuned in to see them in action on Thursday.
On the thirteenth day of the Olympic Games in Paris, Davis-Woodhall and Moore won gold and bronze respectively in the women’s long jump.
At a press conference following their event, the two couldn’t contain their joy when a reporter asked them what Biles’ presence meant to them.
“She looked, she looked,” Davis-Woodhall cheered as she leaned toward her teammate.
“And Snoop Dogg,” she added before they all started giggling in unison. “I can’t believe it. I can’t believe she even came to our track meet.”

“Yeah, I mean, greatness watching greatness, you know? That’s what it is,” Davis-Woodhall continued before motioning to put the microphone down.
Davis-Woodhall took the gold medal with a jump of 7.10 meters. Behind her was Germany’s Malaika Mihambo, with a finish of 6.98 meters.
Moore secured a spot on the podium, but missed Mihambo’s target by a hair’s breadth.
While Davis-Woodhall and Moore prepared for the match, Biles enjoyed the action at the Stade de France.
The American icon enjoyed the festivities with her parents Ron and Nellie, World Athletics President Sebastian Coe, rapper Snoop Dogg and freestyle skier Eileen Gu.
