What’s better than one GOAT? Three GOATs, obviously.
Team USA Olympic athletes Simone Biles and Gabby Thomas—who both nabbed gold medals during the Paris 2024 games in their respective sports—showed their support to Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fever by attending their Aug. 28 game against the Connecticut Sun.
In a video shared by the Indiana Fever’s official X account Aug. 28, Simone and Gabby pose for photos with the team, including Caitlin, forwards Aliyah Boston and Victaria Saxton, and guard Erica Wheeler. The WNBA players naturally expressed a lot of hype for the track star and gymnast’s attendance, cheering and yelling as each team member took a photo.
For their part, Simone and Gabby also showed highlights of the evening on their own social media accounts.
The 27-year-old gymnast shared a video of herself walking into Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis with a huge grin on her face, captioning it, “First WNBA game.”
Simone also included a video of some of the on-court action, and a funny picture of her cocktail beside a stuffed animal of Freddy Fever, the team’s mascot.
Gabby, meanwhile, didn’t hide her excitement over attending the Fever game, either.
In addition to sharing a selfie before attending the game and a picture of some of the action, the 27-year-old also reshared the Fever’s social media post, and a picture of herself and Simone posing with Caitlin, adding three star-eyed emojis.
And while Caitlin is usually one to keep her head in the game, she couldn’t help but gush over the Olympians’ attendance, also adding the Fever’s post to her own Instagram Story writing, “Lemme fan girl real quick.”
The 22-year-old also reshared Simone’s video, which saw her sinking a three-pointer, adding three heart emojis.
Like Simone and Gabby, Caitlin isn’t too far off from her own opportunity to become an Olympian.
After all, the University of Iowa alum being left off Team USA’s basketball team came as a shock to many of her fans. Rest assured though, the star basketball player felt “no disappointment” by the decision.
“I'm excited for the girls that are on the team,” she explained at a press conference in June. “I know it's the most competitive team in the world and I know it could've gone either way.”
Of course, Caitlin also expressed that being cut from the prestigious roster will only motivate her to work harder for London 2028.
Fever coach Christie Sides later told reporters that upon hearing the news Caitlin had texted her, “‘Hey coach, they woke up a monster.’”
