Simone Biles Makes a Cryptic Statement After USA Gymnastics Director’s Resignation

The US women’s gymnastics team woke up to the sudden resignation of their high-performance director, Tom Forster. Despite leading team USA to great performances in Tokyo, Forster will leave at the end of the year. While the organization is on the lookout for a new director now, Simone Biles reacted to Forster’s departure.

Ever since he took over the reins as a director, he restored parity to the gymnastics picture. Moreover, Biles’ reaction hints at the same.

Forster took over the program in June 2018 and led the team to gold at the 2018 and 2019 World Championships. Notably, he also helped them to win a silver medal at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.

After the news broke out, Biles took to Twitter with a cryptic tweet, expressing how she believes there are bigger problems than Tom, that his departure won’t fix.
