WASHINGTON, DC - JULY 7: Simone Biles, Olympic gold medal gymnast and mental health advocate, listens as U.S. President Joe Biden speaks before awarding Presidential Medals of Freedom during a ceremony in the East Room of the White House July 7, 2022 in Washington, DC. President Biden awarded the nation's highest civilian honor to 17 recipients. The award honors individuals who have made exemplary contributions to the prosperity, values, or security of the United States, world peace, or other significant societal, public or private endeavors. (Alex Wong/Getty Images) Olympic gymnast Simone Biles shared what she was given on a plane after being mistaken for a child.
A Twitter user shared a screenshot of Biles’ post on her Instagram story of the interaction with a flight attendant.
The photo of Biles shows her expression of disbelief.
She captioned the photo, “Not the flight attendant trying to give me a coloring book when I board….. I said ‘no I’m good I’m 25.'”
The user reacted, saying, “I’m crying at the thought of a flight attendant giving simone biles the most decorated gymnast in history a coloring book because she is 4’8.”
The post came just days after Biles was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom.
President Joe Biden introduced the gymnast, saying, “Today, she adds to her medal count.”
He added, “I don’t know how you’re going to find room,” for another medal.
ESPN noted Biles is the most decorated U.S. gymnast in history with 32 Olympic and World Championship medals.
She is also the youngest person to ever receive the medal.
Additionally, the White House pointed out Biles is a “prominent advocate for athletes’ mental health and safety, children in the foster care system, and victims of sexual assault.”
In September 2021, Biles broke down while sharing her experience of being sexually abused by USA Gymnastics doctor Larry Nassar.
“I don’t want another young gymnast, or Olympic athlete, or any individual to experience the horror that I and hundreds of others have endured before, during and continuing to this day in the wake of the Larry Nassar abuse,” Biles said.

Biles continued, “We have been failed, and we deserve answers. Nassar is where he belongs, but those who enabled him deserve to be held accountable. If they are not, I am convinced that this will continue to happen to others across Olympic sports.”
She probably knew who she was and gave it to her because that’s befitting for such a crybaby quitter.
“The post came just days after Biles was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom.”
A medal for being a quitter. She took up a slot someone could have used to at least show up and try.
Coloring book? Because she is a colored person, I guess?
Check my screen name before you go all righteous on me.
Jeez, just bury the lead. Larry Nassar is just a itty bitty more important than a coloring book.
“...Shares What Flight Attendant Tries To Give Her”
Joe Biden’s phone number?
Ms. Biles has achieved a standard in athletics that will never be matched for many years if ever. Am so proud of her and her character that she projects to younger generations.
Anything but the inflight magazine. Anything.

She was not injured. She psyched herself out and refused to compete. Then the media called her stunning and brave. It was nothing to celebrate, let alone receive a Medal of Freedom for.
See my post #49.
The FBI has to be careful with its investigations because so many would lead to top RATs and bureaucrats, Generals.... and FBI agents
Yeah, ok. The “best” in sports don’t quit when they aren’t having a good day. Yes, she is one of the most talented gymnasts of all time. She’s also still a quitter.

Hey that sounds like a good deal!
That’s right.
I had the lasagna.
Reminds me of a song about short people.
Except she isn't. Not even close. The most decorated Olympic gymnast in history by far is Russian Larisa Latynina.
She can eat free on Tuesday nights at the Golden Corral 🤪
LoL really funny.
But did she know how to use it?
A banana would have been much worse.
