"So proud of this one,” Biles, 24, wrote on her Instagram story, alongside a photo of herself and Skinner sharing a hug."No one understands the hard work and dedication it takes to come back from collegiate gymnastics and make an olympic team. You did the damn thing!"
Skinner, 24, was an alternate at the 2016 Olympics, and then competed in collegiate level gymnastics while attending the University of Utah. She stepped away from her schooling in her junior year, with the intent to continue, when the opportunity came to try for a spot at this year's Olympics.instead of as a member of Team USA
, but failed to qualify for any event final during Sunday's rounds. Each country can only send two athletes to a final, and Skinner finished behind Biles and 21-year-old Jade Carey. "Thanks for reminding us that grandmas can do it too!” added Biles jokingly. Biles and Skinner are the two oldest gymnasts representing the US at this year's Olympics."Thanks for keeping gym light hearted and fun! I love you Ms Olympian."
Biles also tweeted her appreciative sentiments, and Skinner replied,"Don’t know what I would do without youuuu!!! 😘 thanks sis."
