The gymnast who was a key figure in the 2024 Paris Olympic Games attended her first WNBA game and met Clark, who broke the record for most three-pointers made by a rookie in her first season in the women's basketball league.
The guard scored 19 points (3 for 12 in three-pointers), 5 rebounds, and 5 assists in 37 minutes in Indiana Fever's victory (14-16) against Connecticut Sun by 84-80, to maintain her averages in her first season in the WNBA at 18 points and 5.7 rebounds per game.
What did Simone Biles say after meeting Caitlin Clark?
Biles, 27, watched the game between the Indiana Fever and the Connecticut Sun at Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis and then met with Clark in the locker rooms for a nice encounter between both female sports figures. "Everyone watches women's sports. I'm very happy to be able to go support them!" Biles tweeted after the game. "My first of many WNBA games 🤞🏾." Biles was very excited to meet the basketball star.
Clark, 22, shared a video posted by his team's account, where the moment of the meeting between both athletes could be appreciated, also alongside Olympic sprinter Gabby Thomas. On her Instagram account, Caitlin wrote: "Let me be a fan quickly". In addition to the three sports figures in the United States, the rest of the basketball team also shared moments with Biles and Thomas, and all were photographed having fun.
The achievement last Wednesday is the fourth record for the famous shooter in the WNBA after setting the record for most assists in a game, the first triple-double in the Fever, and the record for assists in a season for a rookie.
