Victory looked pretty good for the US women's gymnastics team when they took team gold in Paris on Tuesday (July 30). It sounded good, too, as team members Simone Biles, Jade Carey, Jordan Chiles, Sunisa Lee and Hezly Rivera spent much of the day basking in the golden glow of the champion's circle to some of their favorite songs.
The party moved to Lee's TikTok shortly after, where the fictional five imitated Kanye West's famous 2005 Grammy Awards speech for his Best Rap album winning work, Dropping out of college. Staring at the camera and gesturing, Lee and Chiles said, “Everybody wanted to know what I would do if I didn't win,” before Lee panned the stage and cut to the entire team holding their medals and uttering Ye's cheeky exclamation point. , “I guess we'll never know.”
Lee also posted a TikTok in which she showed off her gold medal while dancing in her room to the TikTok remix of Azaelia Banks' “Luxury.” The celebration just kept going, including another video Biles posted on her TikTok in which the women take funny bites out of their medals. There was also another clip in which Lee and Chiles revisited one of their favorite holiday jams by belting out a coordinated chorus to Megan Thee Stallion's “Cognac Queen” in a callback to an earlier video in which dance to the song after passing the preliminaries.
Chiles and Megan have clearly forged a relationship. Earlier this month, Chiles shouted out the Houston MC after making the cut for Team USA for the Olympics, telling reporters: “This was for you, uncle and Megan, I'm going to AHH-Olympians!” Meghan later sent Childs a congratulatory bouquet of flowers and called the gymnast “my girl” in a post on X.
The crew had plenty to shout about after cruising to the podium to take their final team gold at the Bercy Arena in Paris, a stunning bounce back from their team silver in Tokyo 2021 after superstar Biles was forced to withdraw from the group final after suffering. from a terrifying struggle of “twists”.
