After winning medal after medal, Simone was praised for her agility and having won a combined 19 Olympic and World Championship medals she has been credited as the most decorated American gymnast in history.

So when she posted a picture of herself and her teammates on a beach in Rio post the games, there was much applause - especially for those abs.

But one person didn't appreciate her body, with the Twitter user taking shots. "Y'all find this attractive? Imaaoo."

 

The Tweet as well the person's account has since been deleted but not before one person hit back.

Twitter user Crystal's retaliation got over 51 000 retweets and 83 000 likes on the social media platform.

The original comment has again brought attention to the comments made towards female athletes after various media platforms addressed the sexist comments made during the Olympics.
