Biles responds to criticism with Williams by her side

Simone Biles and Serena Williams, two legends from entirely different sports, recently shared a moment that delighted their fans. Despite coming from gymnastics and tennis, respectively, the two have demonstrated mutual respect and admiration for each other’s achievements. They met at an event organized by Vanity Fair, Female Quotient, and Audemars Piguet, which aimed to support entrepreneurs and inspire change. Their appearance together added a special star power to the event, held in Manhattan’s Meatpacking District during the Art Basel weekend.

Simone Biles, a 7-time Olympic gold medalist and one of the most decorated gymnasts in history, took to Instagram to share a carousel of photos from the event. One of the photos featured Serena Williams, the 23-time Grand Slam champion. Biles captioned her post simply as “Goated conversations,” a nod to their shared status as two of the greatest athletes of all time.

Serena Williams had earlier posted about the event, writing, “Yesterday, I sat with the goat, @simonebiles, at an EVENING OF IMPACTFUL CONVERSATION with @audemarspiguet, @vanityfair, @femalequotient, and a house full of women. I love to see it.” The mutual respect between these two icons was evident in their posts.

However, not all comments on Biles’ Instagram post were positive. One user wrote, “Humble yourself a little bit, could ya?” Biles responded gracefully, saying, “Oh, there’s always one. Imao.” Williams also chimed in on Biles’ post with a simple “Love,” showing her support for her fellow athlete.

Simone Biles shines with humor
The event itself was a platform for meaningful discussions. Serena Williams spoke passionately about her venture capital work and her commitment to supporting entrepreneurs of color. She emphasized breaking barriers beyond the tennis court and empowering others.

Simone Biles, on the other hand, shared her insights on mental health and how she uses her platform to advocate for positive change. Their words and presence inspired attendees and highlighted their dedication to making an impact beyond their athletic careers.

The evening also featured other notable attendees, including Danielle Pierson, founder of the email newsletter company ‘The Newsette,’ and Vanity Fair’s editor-in-chief Radhika Jones. Together with Biles and Williams, they engaged in conversations that underscored themes of empowerment and innovation. Their collaboration at this event showcased not only their star power but also their commitment to uplifting others and creating meaningful change in society
