"You look nothing like her!" - Fans react to Simone Biles getting mistaken for Gabby Douglas

Simone Biles is away from competitive gymnastics and is concentrating on her personal life. It's been more than a year and a half since the Tokyo Olympics and Simone hasn't competed since that edition of the Olympics due to mental health issues.

In the meantime, she got engaged to her boyfriend Jonathan Owens and they are set to get married this year. Though she ain't competing in the gymnastics arena, Biles is extremely active on social media and keeps her followers updated about the various happenings in her life. She often posts photos and tweets on Instagram and Twitter.

In her most recent tweet, Simone claimed that she was still being called Gabby Douglas. The Olympic gold medalist tweeted,

"still getting called gabby douglas is crazy to me"

The GOAT gymnast stated that it was crazy that people were mistakenly calling her Gabby Douglas. Gabby Douglas is none other than Simone's fellow teammate in the United States of America gymnastics team. They were even part of the famous Team USA, which won the gold medal in the team event at the 2016 Rio Olympics.

Reacting to Simone Biles' tweet, one of her followers wrote,

"I don’t know how they can get you mixed up with Gabby I mean really. You look nothing like her!"

This would have definitely been a surprise to Simone's followers that she was mistaken for another gymnast despite being such a famous gymnast. Gabby Douglas has also created a legacy as a successful gymnast. She has won three Olympic gold medals so far.
