Baltimore Ravens player Marlon Humphrey criticized their gesture on social media, calling it &#8220;literally disgusting.&#8221; However, Michelle Obama praised the moment as one of sisterhood and sportsmanship. She shared her thoughts on X (formerly Twitter), stating how beautiful it was to see love among the athletes and congratulating all three gymnasts.<\/p>\n<p>Humphrey later acknowledged that public opinion seemed to be turning against him as he humorously noted receiving backlash online. According to USA Today, Biles and Chiles had quickly discussed how to honor Andrade&#8217;s victory before deciding on the bow. Biles remarked that it felt right to acknowledge Andrade&#8217;s achievements while Chiles added that giving recognition back was what made their gesture special. After competing in an event where Andrade also excelled, Biles expressed admiration for her talent but also mentioned feeling challenged by her presence in competitions.
