The young lady is ready to make America proud once again.
Simone Biles is set to make a striking return to the Olympic Games in Paris, having secured her spot after a successful showing at the U.S. Olympic Trials. This year, her husband, Jonathan Owens, a safety for the Chicago Bears, will be able to support her in person, thanks to the Bears allowing him a few days off from NFL training camp.

Biles, a seven-time Olympic medalist, is on a mission dubbed ‘our redemption tour’ as she heads back to the Olympics. This trip to Paris will be especially memorable as it marks the first time Owens can be there to watch her compete at the Olympics. During the 2021 Tokyo Olympics, COVID-19 restrictions prevented Owens from attending, a time when Biles withdrew from multiple events due to experiencing the “twisties,” a dangerous disconnection between mind and body that gymnasts sometimes face.
Having overcome these challenges, Biles is now poised to compete in Paris, with high expectations of adding to her already illustrious list of accomplishments. Observers and fans are particularly hopeful that she will capture gold, given her dominant performances over the past year.

On the personal front, Owens has recently signed a two-year, $4.75 million contract with the Bears, marking a new chapter in his professional career. This follows a productive season with the Green Bay Packers where he tallied 84 combined tackles, secured a fumble recovery for a touchdown, added one sack, and defended three passes. Before his time with the Packers, Owens spent four seasons with the Houston Texans, having joined them as an undrafted free agent in 2019.

Despite the brevity of his visit, Owens’ presence in Paris will no doubt provide significant support for Biles as she competes on one of the biggest stages in sports. This year’s Olympics not only represents a professional pinnacle for Biles but also a personal victory as she competes with her husband cheering her on from the stands.
Key Points:
i. Simone Biles has qualified for the Paris Olympics after a successful performance at the U.S. Olympic Trials.
ii. Her husband, Jonathan Owens of the Chicago Bears, will be able to attend the games to support her, thanks to excused absences granted by his team.
iii. This marks the first Olympics Owens can attend in person, as COVID-19 restrictions kept him from the Tokyo Olympics where Biles experienced the “twisties.”
iv. Biles is in excellent form and expected to contend strongly for gold medals in Paris.
v. Owens continues his NFL career with the Bears, having had a productive season with the Green Bay Packers last year.
