I think that’s the biggest reason that Ms. Douglas is upset; she has been largely forgotten/ignored while Simone Biles has received most of the media attention—and rightly so. Biles has a truly compelling life story (born to drug-addicted parents, bounced between them and foster care before being adopted by her grandparents and raised in Christian home), and she will go down as one of the great gymnasts of all time. One of her vault routines is known as the “Biles” because she is the only gymnast who can execute it.

A lot of that “look” on Gabby Douglas’s face is old-fashioned jealousy, and it’s directed at Simone Biles.
