Simone Biles defends Vanessa Ferrari from the haters

Carinerie between colleagues, in the face of Haters. And in the sign of respect on which the five Olympic circles rest. So: Vanessa Ferrari is insulted on social media (not even her fault: it’s a mistake), Simone Biles defends her. Verbal gymnastics exercises, waiting for the competitions. A fuss, triggered by an old forgotten story. It is the obligatory toll of the most social Olympics ever, the Games without spectators but with a global audience, ready to go wild by rolling their fingers on the smartphone.

The story is this: it happens that the infantrymen Simone Biles – the American gymnast Olympic champion at the Rio 2016 Games and five times world champion all-around – unleash against the blue Vanessa Ferrari, attributing to her a racist phrase never uttered or chopped.

Insults, threats, all the worst imaginable. The sentence is this: “Next time, Vanessa and I should dye our faces black to win.” It was said – addressed to Biles – by an Italian gymnast, Carlotta Ferlito, also blue, in 2013, after the final on the beam of the Antwerp World Cup. Ferlito was livid with rage: she finished fourth (Ferrari fifth instead) behind the winner, the American Biles. Case closed, time had erased everything.

The old comment – who knows how – has returned to the surface in the rough sea of ​​social media and Vanessa Ferrari – mistaken for her partner – had to defend herself from the shitstorm. So much so that he has to intervene and explain the situation with a tweet: “You are confusing, this is a false accusation. I’m not the one who said that sentence, it was a partner of mine many years ago. Before accusing someone, think about it ». All already seen, unfortunately. But Simone Bles also intervened at this point.

Who virtually lent a hand to his colleague. The American champion has apologized to Ferrari, also proposing a peace meeting. «I hope to meet you on the platform and officially apologize for what you have had to suffer. In the meantime, good luck to you at team Italy! ». “Thanks Simone », writes Vanessa on Twitter with a heart like emoticon. The short circuit may have ended. And everyone lived happily ever after. Looking forward to the next tweet.
