Earlier, she had to censor out an expletive when she shared another nickname suggestion at a press conference.
Simone Biles has unveiled the “official team name” of the Olympic gold medal-winning U.S. women’s gymnastics squad: the Golden Girls.
“Because oldest olympic team,” she tweeted.
The gymnastics great earned her fifth gold medal on Tuesday night alongside teammates Suni Lee, Jordan Chiles, Jade Carey and Hezly Rivera.
At 27, Biles is the oldest American woman to win an Olympic medal in gymnastics in 76 years. She was the oldest to compete since 1952. With an average age of 22.5, the group itself is also the oldest American team since that year.
Biles added a shoutout “to cecile” for the name, apparently referring to her coach Cecile Landi.
The Golden Girls are the fourth U.S. women’s team to score gold in the Olympic team event. Each of the squads has had a nickname. The 1996 Atlanta Olympics squad was called the “Magnificent Seven,” the London 2012 crew was the “Fierce Five” and the Rio group was dubbed the “Final Five.”
At a press conference after the competition on Tuesday, Biles joked that the team’s name was “F around and find out.”
The group was on what they called a “redemption tour.” Biles dropped out of the Tokyo Olympics after experiencing disorientation while competing in the team event, and Chiles and Lee were part of the team that went on to take silver.
Biles has not been shy about clapping back at those who have criticized her, celebrating her win on Instagram Tuesday night with a photo of the team captioned, “Lack of talent, lazy, olympic champions.”
