Simone Biles hesitantly revealed the USA gymnastics team's nickname after securing the top of the podium in group competition on Tuesday morning.

Biles, 27, spearheaded the US with teammates Jordan Chiles, Suni Lee, Jade Carey, and Hezly Rivera to secure gold over rivals Italy and Brazil in Paris.

After the monumental win that made her the most decorated American gymnast in Olympic history, Biles was asked by former Olympic gymnast Aly Raisman what the 'team name' is.


Her teammates were quick to jump in and discourage Biles from revealing it before she answered: 'I'm not going to say it.'

However, it took someone to suggest she abbreviate the nickname, which Biles took a few minutes to figure out, for the secretive title to surface.

'F.A.A.F.O.,' Biles said before one of her teammates slipped and revealed it meant 'F*** around and find out,' which left a room full of press members laughing.

Biles later took to social media to clarify that the team had a more wholesome name than what was revealed at the presser.

'Okay on the real though, the official team name is golden girls (because oldest olympic team),' she wrote on X.

Hours later, as celebrations continued, Biles took a dig at former teammate MyKayla Skinner on an Instagram post commemorating their victory. In a now-deleted YouTube video, Skinner - who was Biles' teammate in 2021 - blasted the 2024 squad for not having the right 'work ethic'.

'Besides Simone, I feel like the talent and the depth just isn't like what it used to be,' the 27-year-old said. 'The girls just don't have the work ethic.'

After blocking Skinner on social media, Biles flipped the barrel on her ex-teammate after their win in the French capital.

'lack of talent, lazy, olympic champions,' Biles captioned the post with a series of emojis that included a heart, gold medal, and the American flag.

The Americans captured gold after finishing with 171.296 points. Italy and Brazil took home silver and bronze, respectively.
