‘We were hiding’ – Gabby Thomas reveals how she teamed up with Simone Biles to surprise the WNBA star

Multiple Olympic champion Gabby Thomas had exposed details of her surprise locker room visit to WNBA star Caitlin Clark along with artistic gymnastics champion Simon Biles.

Three-time Paris Olympics gold medalist Gabby Thomas has revealed how she executed a good strategy with artistic gymnast Simone Biles to surprise WNBA star Caitlin Clark.

Clark, who was named Rookie of the Year, received a pleasant surprise in August when the multiple Olympic Games winners visited her in the locker room after playing for her team Indiana Fever in a WNBA game against the Connecticut Sun, which they won with 84 victories. 80, in the regular season.

The two Olympians were riding high after their performances at the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris, where Thomas won the 200m title and gold medals in the 4×100 and 4x400m relays, while Biles claimed three gold medals and a silver medal.

Sha’Carri Richardson paid the price for failing to deliver 100 meters gold for Team USA after being omitted from the list of nominees for the 2024 USATF award, which she won last year.


Thomas and Biles attended the race but then decided to visit Clark to offer support and encouragement, a gesture that left the WNBA star and her teammates in awe, and the sprinter has now opened up about how they made sure the surprise was a success.

“We hid next to their locker room and waited for them to run out. The whole team was shocked and Caitlin was so shocked. It’s so nice to see the support and excitement that athletes have for each other,” Thomas said NBC.

Biles, meanwhile, was thrilled to have attended her first WNBA game and expressed her excitement via a social media post.

“Everyone watches women’s sports. So happy that I can support! my first of many WNBA games,” she posted on X.

Clark’s Fever reached the WNBA playoffs for the first time in six years, with the star guard being named WNBA Rookie of the Year.
