Simone Biles, Gabby Thomas hug Caitlin Clark in legendary moment

Simone Biles is a WNBA fan now.

The U.S. Olympic gymnast and gold medal-winning track star Gabby Thomas took the trip to Gainbridge Fieldhouse on Wednesday in Indianapolis to see Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fever beat the Connecticut Sun, 84-80, meeting the victorious home squad after the game.

Both Thomas and Biles were shown on the video board during the contest, with both waving to the Fever supporters, with the gymnast adding a heart hands gesture.

Biles, fresh off three gold medals and a silver at the 2024 Summer Olympics, posted on her Instagram story that it was her first time attending a WNBA game.

She also posted a video of Clark — who set the single-season rookie record for 3-pointers on Wednesday — drilling a trey.

After the game, Biles and Thomas both showed some love to Clark, sharing some hugs and posing for pictures with the rookie and the rest of the Fever.

Biles shared more love on her X account.

“EVERYONE WATCHES WOMENS SPORTS,” she wrote.  “So happy to be able to go support! my first of many WNBA games.”

Thomas, who won three golds of her own in Paris, shared a photo of the trio on her Instagram, adding three smiling emojis with star eyes.

Clark seemed to enjoy the moment, sharing the same video on her feed and writing “Lemme fan girl real quick.”

It was a big night for Clark, who scored 19 points with five rebounds and five assists as she set the 3-point record.
