"Insert caption later" – Simone Biles made her weekend Instagram update all about the bikini body, with the 23-year-old racking herself up over 100,000 likes in under an hour. Simone, now the world's most-decorated gymnast with 30 Olympic and World medals, might be known for the power somersaults, but the Ohio native is a bikini bombshell on her social media. Simone's Sunday update went lime green, super-skimpy, and it came unusual for the star who debuted her sternum chest piercing in early 2020. It was gone today. Check it out below.

Scroll for the photo. The above snap dates back to June, when Simone snapped herself in selfie mode, with her piercing on show.
Today's photo showed the star flaunting her rock-hard and muscle machine of a body near a white wall and floor-to-ceiling window. Simone, swinging a hip and drawing the eye with her belly piercing, had gone neon, strung, and super-tiny to showcase her killer body. A scruffy bun, shades, and a giant #mood finished the shot. The caption, clearly, was that there wasn't one.

Keep scrolling for more photos. Simone in a bikini isn't going to get ignored. "THE WAY YOU BODIED THIS" came from gymnast Gabi Butler, with 30-year-old former Olympian Nastia Liukin – herself in the news for her shirtless dumpster photo – leaving Biles fire emoji.
If you don't live inside Simone's Instagram, the bikini updates are something else. Simone shouted out hit Netflix series "Tiger King" with her "Sun Baskin'" tiger-print bikini earlier this year. She's also jokingly told fans "how to get a bikini body" – "Put a bikini on your body," she wrote.

Pandemic headlines from Simone haven't just been about the pants-removing Handstand Challenge and headline-making Vogue cover. Simone has gone public with new NFL player boyfriend. 25-year-old Houston Texans player Jonathan Owens is now all over Simone's Instagram, even having featured in a massive steak dinner video with Simone last month.
Simone's "boo" comes after she split from ex Stacey Ervin Jr. amid rumors that he cheated on the gymnast over Valentine's Day. Simone confirmed the split while speaking to Vogue. The feature also saw Biles address how few black gymnasts there are. Scroll for what she had to say.

Simone, who has been backing Black Lives Matter on Instagram and largely doing so via the Nike brand she fronts, told the iconic magazine:
"Growing up, I didn’t see very many Black gymnasts. So whenever I did, I felt really inspired to go out there and want to be as good as them."
"I remember watching Gabby Douglas win the 2012 Olympics, and I was like, If she can do it, I can do it," she added." Simone recently shouted out her skill-set with a killer video to celebrate National Gymnastics Day.
