The girls are back in town!
Simone Biles, 28, elated fans with a recent TikTok video that featured a reunion with two fellow Olympian gymnasts who were part of the "Final Five" gold-medal group for Team USA at the 2016 Rio Games.
Aly Raisman, 31, and Laurie Hernandez, 25, made surprise appearances in Biles' video, which sees the trio participating in the viral "No We're Not Sorry" trend on TikTok. The trend pokes fun at friend groups and the varying — often hilarious and chaotic — personalities within them.

The trend includes standard text for every video, starting with the first person who mouths a variation of "f— you" to the camera. The second person comes on the screen to say, "We're so sorry!" while the final person concludes with something along the lines of, "No, we're not!"
For the gymnasts' take on the trend, set to Joan Jett's hit "I Love Rock ’n’ Roll," Biles kicked things off with two middle fingers to the screen while mouthing the text on screen, "f**k you bishhh."

Raisman acted the role of the apologetic friend, who took back the bold words and actions from Biles. "We're so sorry!!" read the text on screen, as Raisman comedically pleaded for forgiveness.
The video wrapped with an amped-up, smiling Hernandez, who jumped into frame with another two middle fingers pointing to the sky, mouthing the text on screen: "HAHAHAH NO WE'RE NOT FCK U LOL."

Fans of the gymnasts were thrilled by the reunion and expressed their joy in the comment section.
"okay this wins the 2016 trend," wrote one user on TikTok.
"Aly definitely is the one trying to stop the trouble 🤣," commented another.
"Oh, we getting the band back together?!" a third questioned hopefully.

"Oh this made my heart explode," wrote a fourth user.
"LA 2028 Olympics loading? 👀" wondered a fifth TikToker.
The trio made up part of the Final Five group of gold medal-winning gymnasts at the 2016 Rio Olympics, which also included Gabby Douglas, 30, and Madison Kocian, 28, who weren't present for the reunion.
Biles shared the silly new clip on Tuesday, Feb. 17.
The reunion was especially timely given the popularity of the recent 2016 trend that started after the clock struck midnight on New Year's Eve. The trend saw users posting throwback photos and videos from one decade ago for a nostalgic celebration of the year 2026.
Biles and Douglas are the last two of the Final Five women who've yet to retire from competitive gymnastics.
At the 2024 Paris Games, Biles surpassed her medal count of 7, breaking the record previously held by Shannon Miller to become the most-decorated U.S. gymnast in Olympic history. She walked away with four medals, three gold and one silver.
Douglas had intentions to compete in Paris, but her Olympics bid was stymied by a late-May ankle injury. The 2012 Olympic all-around champion is now eying the 2028 games in Los Angeles and told PEOPLE in July 2024 that she's "looking forward to it."
