“I think they say that just because I'm French, maybe”
When Melanie de Jesus dos Santos adorably said during an interview about how people in the US see French people “They go and say “Oh you're so cute!” but I think they say that just because I'm French, maybe” Although we can all agree, Melanie's cuteness is off the charts! 
“That routine was a piece of sh*t”
Simone Biles's competitive spirit was on full display at the 2019 U.S. Gymnastics Championships. Despite receiving praise from her teammate Jordan Chiles, Biles was heard expressing frustration with her performance saying, “That routine was a piece of sh*t”
“Unfortunately, i was selected for the Olympics”
Suni Lee joined the 'Fortunately, I wasn't selected' trend on tiktok. On her viral video, she hilariously flipped the script with her caption “Unfortunately, i was selected for the Olympics” when she fell on her Balance Beam routine.
Who doesn't love a good old self-roast, right

“F around and find out”
The U.S. women's gymnastics team had a major “OOPS!” moment when their team was asked about their nickname. She accidentally blurted out “F around and find out” instead of abbreviating as her teammates suggested. Talk about a slip of the tongue!
Even the pros have their slip-ups, but it's comforting to know we're all in this together, right?
