Simone Biles being startled by something became a new, gold medal meme
Simone Biles may be done competing at the 2024 Paris Olympics after a medal-filled performance, but she's still very much in the spotlight.
She's hanging out with Elmo, she's doing interviews, and one moment from the Olympics has become a perfect meme that very much deserves its own gold medal.
It looks like she's chatting with someone while warming up, when something startles her. And lots of people have turned that into a meme, focused on when something startles or surprises you.
Here's a roundup as the meme continues to make its way around the interwebs, much of it through X (formerly Twitter):
