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!
