WNBA Players Towered Over 4-Foot-8 Simone Biles In Indiana Fever Photo Op

Simone Biles was in the house to watch the Indiana Fever take on the Connecticut Sun on Wednesday. She wouldn’t be disappointed!

The game was highly competitive with each squad trading blows to the very end. The home team Fever would emerge victorious, holding the Sun scoreless over the last two-and-a-half minutes of action.

After the game, the gymnast headed to the Indiana locker room for a photo op.

Those WNBA contributors were starstruck to see the gold-medal winning Olympian, who’s fresh off another dominant run in Paris. Simone Biles racked up four Top 3 finishes (three golds) to again represent her country on the highest of stages.

How could you not be awed by her presence?!

That said, those hoopers do have one notable advantage over the 4′ 8″ athlete. Height!

A quick look at the Fever roster shows that 11 of the 12 team members stand a foot or more taller than Biles. Only Erica Wheeler (5′ 7″) misses the cut.

That height difference was on full display during a meet-and-greet after the Indiana win.

Fellow Olympian Gabby Thomas was also in attendance, though at 5′ 11″, that difference was much less noticeable.

Simone Biles appeared to enjoy herself at the game, which Indiana won 84-80. The matchup provided fireworks on the court, some of which were sparked by rookie Caitlin Clark.

The gymnast even appeared to break her own rule of “never drinking again,” judging by photos on her Instagram story.

After the game, Biles had nothing to great things to say about her experience. She’ll definitely be back!

EVERYONE WATCHES WOMENS SPORTS! So happy to be able to go support! My first of many WNBA games.

We’ll see if she continues to follow the Indiana Fever or finds a new venue for game No. 2.
