Lady Gaga shows support for US gymnast after gold medal wins

Lady Gaga has paid tribute to US athlete Simone Biles after she won gold at the 2016 Olympic Games.

The 19-year-old gymnast has so far come first in the women's vault, individual all-around and team all-around sections.

Her rise seems to have piqued the interest of Gaga, who has been watching the events unfold in Rio on television.

Gaga tweeted on Sunday (August 14): ". @Simone_Biles You brought proud teardrops to many people's eyes including mine.

"A focused & strong woman, you are a champion. #Olympics."

She previously wrote: "Watching Team USA and all the ladies killing it in gymnastics. I'm getting all choked up with tears. These are some tough women."
