Simone Biles nailed it again, but without crediting Jonathan Owens, Biles is incomplete! The U.S. women’s gymnastics team for the 2024 Paris Olympics has been revealed. Leading the charge is the real freak of nature, Simone Biles, whom we saw today on June 30th. She secured her spot with a dominant performance at the U.S. Olympic trials, earning a two-day all-around total of 117.225 and finally moving to her third Olympics. But what truly captivated everyone was the way Biles praised her husband, Jonathan Owens.
During a post-interview, the interviewer asked, “You’ve talked about being a big cheerleader for your husband and watching him play. What’s it like having him here, especially seeing that video of him going crazy watching your routine?” Well, it’s about when Jonathan Owens was caught on camera at the U.S. Gymnastics Championships in Fort Worth on June 2nd, meticulously writing down the scores of all athletes on his piece of paper while Biles was performing her routines, inspired by Biles’ parents.
In her response, Biles expressed deep appreciation, highlighting the joy of supporting each other’s pursuits. She remarked, “It’s amazing. I think it’s super exciting that we get to be in each other’s elements, supporting each other’s dreams and goals. These memories that we make will never come back, so anytime we can show up for one another and support, we get super excited. Our schedules don’t align that much, so whenever they do, it’s really important for both of us to show up and support each other.”
