Four-time Olympic gold medalist Simone Biles shocked her followers on Instagram when she disclosed that she owed gymnast Zoe Miller $200. She had entered into a bet with Miller to do a dance celebration at the Core Hydration Classic in Illinois.
Biles doubted her friend would be able to pull the celebration through. However, Mills, 17, after securing an uneven bars routine in front of a crowd, caught everyone by surprise by twerking briefly in celebration.
Biles, who could not hold her amazement, screamed in awe. She posted on her Instagram page “I just lost $200 to @_.zoemiller for doing that dance celebration.” She capped it with a smile and captioned it “OMG OKAY GIRL.”
