Even though Simone Biles is the most decorated U.S. Olympic gymnast with over 35 medals and the Presidential Medal of Freedom, some people still criticize her.
One person complained, “Simone Biles’ hair never looks right. Everyone else on the team looks put together, but she looks like she just rolled out of bed.”
Before the women’s gymnastics team finals, Simone Biles, 27, shared a message for her critics on her Instagram Story.
“Don’t comment on my hair,” Simone Biles wrote in a video she posted. “It was done, but the bus had no AC and it was super hot. Plus, the ride was 45 minutes.”
In another Instagram Story, she shared a selfie and said, “Gonna hold your hand when I say this

Many women usually wear their hair in a slicked-back ponytail or bun, but Simone Biles has been wearing a looser style.
The rules say USA gymnasts must be “well groomed” and keep their hair “secured away from the face” so it doesn’t block their view of the equipment.
Despite the rules, many people on social media have criticized Simone Biles’ hairstyle.
Comments include:
“Simone Biles’s hair stylist should be fired.”
“Did Simone Biles purposely not do her hair? Every other gymnast’s hair is neatly done, but hers is messy. It almost seems on purpose… wtf?”
“I know Simone Biles talked about hair comments in her documentary, but she needs someone else to do her hair, not just her mom.”
“Simone Biles is flawless, but her hair isn’t.”
I don’t see anything wrong with Simone’s hair. She’s following the rules, so she should be able to wear it however she wants. People need to leave her alone!

Man Rescued a Trapped Crying Wild Horse. How It Thanked Him is Unbelievable
In a heartwarming turn of events outside of Calgary, a group of Good Samaritans came to the rescue of a distressed horse trapped in a treacherous marshland. The horse, part of a new herd in the area, had wandered off during heavy rainfall, finding itself stuck in the muddy quagmire.
Darla Connelly, overseeing the situation, expressed deep concern for the new herd, unfamiliar with the challenging terrain during this unusually rainy season. Her fears materialized when one of the mares, a two-year-old, ventured too far and got trapped in the marsh.
The rescue effort kicked into high gear when the distress signals from the trapped horse were spotted. A team of volunteers from Help Alberta Wildlife Society, equipped with ATVs and specialized rescue gear, rushed to the scene. The horse, struggling to keep afloat, faced the imminent threat of sinking further into the muddy abyss.
Daryl Glover, one of the volunteers, braved the treacherous mud to approach the distressed mare. With careful maneuvering, he secured a rope around the horse’s hindquarters, offering support to ease her struggle. The coordinated efforts of the team prevented the situation from escalating further.
As the ATV’s engine roared, the rescue rig tightened the rope, allowing the horse to gain a foothold and aiding her ascent. In a remarkable display of resilience, the horse’s hind legs found firmer ground, and with each pull, she inched closer to safety.
Amidst the tension of the rescue operation, an unexpected moment of gratitude unfolded. Once the horse was on solid ground, she exhibited a surprising display of appreciation. Rather than bolting away in fear, the mare approached Daryl, nuzzled him, and even sniffed in acknowledgement.
