Simone Biles lightheartedly poked fun at herself after the gymnastic superstar went viral as a meme during the Olympics.
Biles not only dazzled the Parisian crowds with her gold-medal-winning displays at the games but also entertained the masses on social media with a hilarious viral moment.
The broadcast of the Olympic gymnastics showed Biles and her fellow Team USA teammates chatting as they stretched and warmed up.
However, the video picked up a moment from the unsuspecting 27-year-old, which instantly set the internet ablaze.
Biles was caught suddenly stopping what she was doing mid-conversation, snapping to attention, swiveling to the camera and issuing a glare at the lens.

The moment naturally gained popularity on social media, providing fodder for new meme material with some users likening her to the character Raven Baxter from the hit Disney Channel show ‘That’s So Raven’, the Mona Lisa, a librarian and annoyed girlfriends.
The Olympic legend also saw the funny side, recreating the now viral glare in a TikTok of her own.
In a clip shared to the social media platform, performing head snap in response to multiple hypothetical situations.
‘Hearing someone on their couch comment on the routine,’ and, ‘when someone mentions women’s sports,’ as well as, ‘The vault when it sees her coming,’ read some of the captions as Biles jokingly stares stony-faced at the camera.
Biles went viral again over the weekend. This time for her actions at her husband’s NFL game.

Still basking in the glory of her three Olympic gold medals from Paris, the gymnast sparked backlash with a controversial gameday fit at Soldier Field Saturday.
The 27-year-old showed out in support of her husband, Jonathan Owens, at the Chicago Bears ‘ preseason game against the Cincinnati Bengals, wearing a custom jacket with black-and-white printed images of Owens on it.
However, the Olympic legend made an NFL rookie error as the various snaps featured Owens in action for the Green Bay Packers – the Bears’ longstanding fierce rivals and his former team.
Her attempts to make a touching and supportive gesture towards Owens , landed Biles in the middle of one of the league’s fiercest rivalries and fans were far from impressed with one even claiming she should be ‘stripped of all her medals’ for her fashion fumble.

Despite flirting with football controversy, Biles, the Olympic all-around champion from the Paris Games, brushed off the backlash by making it known where her loyalties lie.
With just over two weeks until the 2024 NFL season kicks off, Biles pledged her support to Owens and Chicago by posting, ‘bear down,’ to X, formerly known as Twitter.
The gymnastic icon shared two photos of herself at the iconic stadium but ensured to keep any Packers logos on her jacket out of sight.
On Saturday, in addition to the photos of Owens suited up in Packers uniform, a large Green Bay logo on the shoulder pad had stood out in certain snaps and videos.
