Olympics fans go wild for former Team USA gymnast’s commentary after calling Simone Biles and her team’s gold medal
Former Team USA gymnast Laurie Hernandez has been inundated with praise for calling America’s gold medal in the team gymnastics final in Paris this week
Simone Biles led her team to glory in France on Tuesday – becoming America’s most decorated gymnast in Olympic history in the process. But as the dust settled on the success of Biles and her team, gymnastics fans flooded social media with praise for Hernandez, too.
Hernandez called the event alongside play-by-play commentator Rich Lerner for NBC in France.
The 24-year-old Hernandez took to X to call on fans not to tag her in any negative comments but it seemed like nothing she had to worry about.
She wrote: ‘hey y’all, had such a blast commentating the competition tonight. What a night!!
hey y’all, had such a blast commentating the competition tonight. What a night!! also- everyone is entitled to their own opinion (obviously), but if the opinion related to me and is unkind, please don’t tag me in it (contrary to popular belief, I do see it). enjoy the Games!
also- everyone is entitled to their own opinion (obviously), but if the opinion related to me and is unkind, please don’t tag me in it (contrary to popular belief, I do see it). enjoy the Games!’
But she was met with an array of positive comments, led by ESPN’s Jenna Laine who replied: ‘I’ve loved your commentary and insight. Thank you. Much love and respect.’
Another fan wrote: ‘Petition to have Laurie Hernandez provide commentary on all events bc she is the perfect combo of sport knowledge, sharing it in an understandable way, and providing entertainment.
‘Also because we need more “they were roommates” moments in the Olympics.’
A different comment said: ‘I loved your commentary! The emotion and the information was all gold in my book. I hope NBC keeps you around for a long time!’
Another reply read: ‘You are a wonderful light in the world.
‘Try not to let the naysayers get you down. There is more happiness in the world and if we believe it, it can be true!! Have fun in Paris & Go Golden Girls!
“You know, I’ve been in this business long enough — and I’ve never seen anything so blatantly one-sided. When a player goes after the puck, you can tell right away. But when he goes after a man — that’s a choice. That hit? It was intentional. No doubt about it.Don’t sit there and tell me otherwise. Because we all saw what came after that hit — the taunts, the smirks, the showboating. That’s the real language of the ice.I’m not here to drag anyone’s name through the mud — believe me, everyone in this room knows exactly who I’m talking about. But let me speak plainly to the NHL: these imaginary boundaries, these timid whistles, these special shields for certain teams — we see them. You preach fairness and integrity, yet every week we watch you look the other way while dirty hits get excused as “just incidental contact.”If this is what professional hockey has devolved into — if the so-called “standards” you talk about are nothing but empty optics — then you’ve failed the game. And I refuse to stand by while my team gets trampled under rules you don’t even bother to enforce.” Read more ⤵️
