Simone Biles is a class act.
The Team USA women's gymnastics superstar and greatest of all time – or GOAT – in her sport pulled out of the Tokyo Olympics women's gymnastics team final on Tuesday. After a brief exit for an evaluation with a trainer, Biles came back into the arena to support her teammates and watch their opponents.
Despite a valiant effort, Team USA's Jordan Chiles, Sunisa "Suni" Lee, and Grace McCallum came up short of their gold-medal ambitions following their superstar teammates' premature exit. But Biles was the first to congratulate the Russian Olympic Committee athletes on their massive gold-medal upset over the United States.

After hugging her Team USA counterparts, Biles chatted with Russia's Liliia Akhaiimova, Viktoriia Listunova, Angelina Melnikova, and Vladislava Urazova. She hugged the gymnasts and appeared to offer praise for their stellar, gold-medal-worthy performances on the day.
