Aly Raisman spoke out shortly after Simone Biles exited the team finals (via Today). Raisman, a three-time gold medalist who was Biles' teammate in the 2016 Olympics, said she felt "sick" about her friend leaving the competition. "It's horrible," she said. "I know that all of these athletes dream of this moment for their whole entire lives, and so I'm just completely devastated. I am obviously so worried and just hoping that Simone is OK."

Biles and Raisman obviously have a strong bond and both understand the pressure of competing on the Olympic stage. Although they're no longer teammates, the two stay in touch. Back in January, Raisman told E! Online that she'd been cheering on Biles as she prepared for the Tokoyo games. "I know she's working super hard," she said. "We actually texted the other day so we definitely keep in touch. It's been awhile since we've seen each other, obviously, because of COVID, but I look forward to seeing her and my other teammates and gymnasts whenever things are safe again."

Fans are offering their support to Biles following her Olympic exit, and it appears that the gymnast also has a friend to lean on in Raisman.
