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!

Edmonton Oilers head coach Kris Knoblauch broke the silence with a fiery statement defending Connor McDavid: “What’s happening to him is a crime against hockey — a blatant betrayal of everything this sport stands for. How can people be so cruel? Criticizing a man who’s led this offense with heart, shows up every single night, plays through pain, gives everything he has, never seeks attention, never blames anyone — just fights for the Edmonton Oilers? To me, Connor McDavid is one of the most relentless and selfless players this league has ever seen — and instead of questioning his value every time the team hits a rough patch, people should be standing behind him.” Read more⤵️

🔥 BREAKING: T.r.u.m.p ERUPTS After Stephen Colbert & Arnold Schwarzenegger EXPOSE Him LIVE On TV — The Brutal On-Air Takedown That Left Mar-a-Lago in CHAOS ⚡ It was pure late-night mayhem as Stephen Colbert and Arnold Schwarzenegger teamed up for one of the most savage, unfiltered TV moments of the year — exposing Donald T.r.u.m.p’s “deep secrets” with a mix of comedy, truth, and total humiliation. Colbert opened the monologue with a smirk, saying, “T.r.u.m.p’s biggest accomplishment isn’t leadership — it’s avoiding responsibility.” The crowd exploded as Schwarzenegger stepped onstage in full “Terminator-meets-T.r.u.m.p” parody mode, delivering what fans are already calling “the most brutally accurate takedown ever aired.” Schwarzenegger growled, “I told him, ‘You won’t be back — not with that record,’” sending the audience into hysterics while Colbert added, “And somehow, he still manages to lose even when he’s not running.” The duo went back and forth in a lightning-fast roast that ripped through T.r.u.m.p’s scandals, legal troubles, and fragile ego. According to insiders, T.r.u.m.p was watching live — and completely lost it. One Mar-a-Lago source said, “He went ballistic. Shouting, pacing, calling Arnold ‘a washed-up machine’ and demanding the networks be punished.” The meltdown reportedly lasted nearly an hour. The clip has since exploded online, with millions calling it “the most epic T.r.u.m.p roast in late-night TV history.” Political analysts say Colbert and Schwarzenegger didn’t just mock T.r.u.m.p — they made him crack. 👇 The full Colbert-Schwarzenegger segment is now trending worldwide — watch the viral takedown that sent Trump into meltdown before it’s pulled offline… 👇🔥

The final score read Edmonton Oilers 4 – Seattle Kraken 0, but the real explosion came off the ice. Moments after the shutout loss, Seattle Kraken head coach Dan Bylsma unleashed a blistering tirade that instantly went viral: “Let’s not kid ourselves,” Bylsma began, jaw clenched with frustration. “Edmonton didn’t win with grit — they won with money. They buy superstars, they buy spotlight, they buy their way out of problems. That’s not hockey anymore — that’s a corporation skating around in jerseys. Meanwhile, we’re out here building something real with players who fight because they love the crest, not the contract.” The press room went dead silent. Reporters froze mid-note. Even NHL coaches watching from home were texting each other: “Did he actually say that on camera?” But just minutes later, Oilers head coach Kris Knoblauch delivered one of the coldest, most devastating responses the league has heard in years… 𝙍𝙀𝘼𝘿 𝙁𝙐𝙇𝙇:⤵️
