Watch: Simone Biles reignites Sesame Street’s Elmo and Rocco feud at Paris Olympics 2024

At the 2024 Paris Olympics, Simone Biles brought a touch of Sesame Street to the gymnastics arena by reviving the infamous Elmo and Rocco feud. 

The Team USA gymnast, known for her impressive performances, shared a video on social media featuring Elmo, the beloved red Muppet, in a humorous twist.

In the video, Biles expresses her excitement about taking a photo with someone she has longed to share a frame with. Elmo, initially thrilled, quickly becomes dismayed when he realizes the photo opportunity is not with him but with his longstanding nemesis, Rocco the rock. 

This unexpected turn of events visibly frustrates Elmo, who has a well-documented disdain for Rocco.

Elmo's aversion to Rocco, a pet rock, has been a recurring comedic element on Sesame Street. The Muppet's irritation with Rocco's presence is evident as he reacts with noticeable annoyance, even at the prestigious Olympic event.

The video, shared by Elmo on his social media channels, garnered attention from fans online.
