Simone Biles’s comeback to gymnastics in 2023 was a huge success. She not only won the world championship in gymnastics for the sixth time, but she also achieved the record for most medals won by a gymnast in history. As Biles revealed her hopes for the Paris 2024 Olympics, she broke a number of records in 2023 and enthralled her admirers.
But when the 2024 U.S. Gymnastics Championship qualifier, the Winter Cup in Louisville, Kentucky, approaches, the gymnastics community finds out that Simone Biles has decided not to participate. Rather, the Olympic gymnast has been organizing their trip with husband Jonathan Owens.
The Olympic superstar Simone Biles, now known as “Mrs. Owens,” recently shared a preview of her tropical vacation with her NFL husband Jonathan Owens on Instagram. She posted a photo of Jonathan Owens walking in sandals down a beach, surrounded by lush palm trees.
“Ready to go on vacation again” was the caption she wrote to go along with the peaceful image. Only a few days remain before the Winter Cup, where Simone Biles and numerous other WCC colleagues, like Jordan Chiles and Zoe Miller, have chosen to abstain from participation. As Biles looks forward to a well-earned vacation following a hectic 2023, let’s examine what gymnastics fans may expect at the 2024 Winter Cup.
The 2024 Winter Cup, scheduled for February 23–25 in Louisville, Kentucky, is a crucial qualifying event for the 2024 U.S. Gymnastics Championships. This is how many elite gymnasts in the United States will begin their 2024 season.
