I think anybody would bee a little freaked out.
seaBR600RR
Why is no one mentioning the tiny little person resting their arms/chin on the first place podium?!?!
smeeon
Scrolled back to look. Was not disappointed.

UmmIsThisThingOn
I mean, yeah. The bee is basically the same size as her.
swidit1028
As a man...this made me giggle like a school girl
noWhiteHorseHereJustBatturuPrinsu
This is a response you see mostly from people that have been stung by bees before and know how much it hurts
SorryThisUsernameHasBeenTaken
This would be me. Except I would have ran far far away.

She's so adorable lol

She smiles the whole time. That mix of joy from being on the podium, and terror from being chased by the bee.
NoGunsNoCats
Everybody loves her. EVERYBODY!
SeaWolfe
That bee wanted to pollinate her

She almost flipped the fuck out. Oh wait, that's how she got the medal in the first place.

You deserve a fucking gold medal for the comment

All the upvotes, I laughed more at this comment than Simone Vs the Bee

TIL all floor gymnasts are great because they're chased by bees.
quanticomd
She picked the bees!
sirmeowstermcfluff
can somebody make a gif about a back flipping gymnast attacked by a bee?
Promethianfire
Brave enough to compete before the entire world.... OMG A BEEEE. Endearing.
AlCo94
Even though she is probably the most capable person in the world at evading a bee.
Bootsy81
Why didn't she just back flip the hell out of there? What good are super powers if you don't use them?
NowWhatGod
I miss Kyla Ross :'( sad she retired from Elite Gymnastics. Stupid injuries and growing and UCLA..

The best part is their heights go from smallest to tallest in the same order they won medals
Jadax
Wonder how many people haven't realised that this isn't from Rio.
ChronoKing
But all those signs are in Rio-nese
jiynxed
i'm just amused by the fact that they're all the same height when standing on their respective spots on the pedestal.
EvilEkips
Well, they don't give flowers any more in Rio, it's been replaced with a sculpture medal holder now.
HumansArePrettyNeat
I wonder if they double as a medal holder for your trophy case. That'd be pretty nice.
LosLocosKickYourAss
Which I think is way cooler
ultrafoo
I kept wondering what those things were.

The girl who got bronze was great luring the bee away. I loved Simone's expressions.

I mean this is in Nanning, China, but I can see where the confusion would arise

I forgot that we aren't suppose to joke around on imgur anymore.
nightshiftgray
thought this was rio, then i realized there were too many chinese people in the audience.
martianandy
No boquets at Rio either

only weird plastic olympic blobs. athletes be awkwardly holding them or hiding them behind their backs when they want a good picture.

Well she was too young for the Beijing olympics so dunno what this is from

Cerinna
I've been seeing your comments and upvoting them a lot lately. Keep up the good work, friend.
TacticalPuke
Sadly, some of my "best" comments are low effort, and some of those which bombed were actually better but didn't meet enough viewers :/
Cerinna
Aw! Well I find that the less effort I put into being funny the funnier I tend to be. Maybe that goes for you too.
TacticalPuke
Yeah, I could be trying too hard... In the other news, the "her size" comment is now my top comment of all time. FML.
Threewisemen
Lol, I like you.
TacticalPuke
Got downvoted for a similar joke last week - OP didn't seem to know she's only 3/5 the size of an average athlete. *smh*
ifartedwhilewatchingyourdog
That savage 3/5ths joke.
TacticalPuke
~But its truuuuueee...~
Snotty128
I particularly liked the bit where she has to pay $10k in tax for every gold medal she won
economyinthis
Don't feel bad. We all gotta pay taxes n
Elliottwrites
My friend doesn't know what you mean by this, how can I explain it to them?
Snotty128
They also tax 40% of the value of the metals in the medal. http://www.bbc.com/news/business-37099066
oddmog
Gold medalist usually gets a bonus from their home country for winning gold for some it's 10k for some maybe 100k not sure for Americans.
scmaley08
In the US it's 25K for gold, 15K for silver, and 10K for bronze.
oddmog
Not too shabby but not worth doing it as a dayjob so it has to be a passion. Did a quick google to find Singapore offered 750k as a bonus.
Snotty128
Gold winning athletes also win $25k, the US has no exemptions for athletes so considers this earnings, and taxes this at 40%.
Mistrblank
It's only 40% because of her earned income based on endorsement deals will force her into the top income bracket. No sympathy here.
kraeftig
Off the top of my head top income bracket is 250,000.00+
kraeftig
And it's actually 39% and not 40%
KharnApproves
So she has to pay taxes? Just like I do? OMG the injustice.
Snotty128
Literally taxing the gold from the medal. You think thats just? Other countries dont
KharnApproves
I'm talking about the $25k you said she won.
HeyOP
Also, I"ve no idea how I ended up on this week old comment. My bad.
