Tom Brady was amazed by Simone Biles’s floor routine at the Paris Olympics on Monday morning.

While he and his daughter, Vivian, watched the gymnast compete at Bercy Arena, the former Patriots quarterback, open-mouthed, appeared to say, “Oh, wow.”

Fans have commented on the interaction, from one star athlete to another.

The retired football star has been making the most out of the Paris Games— he attended the men’s tennis singles final between Carlos Alcaraz and Novak Djokovic, who took home his first Olympic gold medal. Brady also posted photos on Instagram with gymnast Suni Lee and Vermont-native rugby star Ilona Maher.

Biles’s impressive floor routine earned her a silver medal, runner-up to Brazil’s Rebeca Andrade, after losing points for stepping out of bounds. She also competed in the balance beam along with Lee earlier Monday morning, but both stumbled and finished in fifth and sixth place, respectively.

Biles is now the most decorated U.S. gymnast, with 11 total medals. She earned four of those from the Paris Games alone— three of them gold.
