Gymnastics queen Simone Biles and NFL’s Jonathan Owens have been enjoying the crisp Wisconsin air in Green Bay. Biles, on much-deserved time away from the gymnastics mat, was once again the perfect cheerleader and a good luck charm for Owens at the Green Bay Packers vs. Los Angeles Chargers game.

Whenever a gymnastics name pops up, one name carries utmost precedence in the heads of fans. Simone Biles, along with her dedicated and talented legion of athletes, gave it their all to reach the zenith of success. However, mastering gymnastics is an art. It isn’t a cakewalk that any normal individual can hope to perfect easily. It is a practice-oriented sport and polishing your moves over time is the tour de force that’ll determine your success.

Athletes showcase proprioception, and kinesthetic awareness, and execute routines with precision, timed to an astonishing six-thousandths of a second. Sprinting at speeds over 16 miles per hour and executing tumbling and vaulting at towering heights, gymnastics is distinguished by its 900 degrees of rotation and 360 degrees of twisting in less than one second. The scientific evidence now crystallizes what many have long believed—gymnastics is unequivocally the most challenging sport, with far-reaching repercussions physically and mentally.

What makes artistic gymnastics more troublesome is the harsh reality of injuries. A recent and poignant example took place at the World Artistic Championship in Belgium. Two prominent athletes, Joscelyn Roberson of the United States and Jessica Gadirova of Great Britain, faced painful setbacks and got hurt.

Nineteen-year-old Gadirova disclosed a torn anterior cruciate knee ligament injury during the warm-up session. She acknowledged the challenging journey ahead in an Instagram post. Moreover, the athlete revealed a full-tear ACL injury, Gadirova provides glimpses of her recovery at the Inpatient Rehabilitation Unit (IRU). Though the recovery rate is good, the journey is still long as Paris 2024 is just seven months away.

Another heart-wrenching moment where Roberson experienced a painful fall during her Cheng vault. The young prodigy was even unable to walk. To this, her Coach Laurent Landi, who has guided both Roberson and the legendary Simone Biles at the World Champions Centre (WCC), carried her away in her arms to treatment. The incident often shatters years of practice and harsh training. However, Roberson Tearfully recounted the great moments she shared and celebrated the victory of Team USA.

These incidents underscore the physical toll and emotional challenges that gymnasts endure. The contrasting journeys of Gadirova and Roberson illuminate the resilience required in the face of adversity. They showcase the brutal truths within the world of artistic gymnastics. In essence, with undeniable scientific backing, the narrative of gymnastics as the most difficult sport is not only a consensus but is now firmly established in evidence.

Simone Biles and Jonathan Owens are pet parents to three adorable fur babies. The gymnastics queen owns two French bulldogs named Lilo and Rambo, and her husband has another French bulldog named Zeus. While Biles and Owens are a match made in heaven, the same can’t be said for their pets.

As the NFL safety, Owens is busy with the Green Bay Packers; his Olympian wife, miles away, seems to be struggling with the four-legged companions and their strange behaviors. She even took to social media to vent her frustrations, saying she was thinking of rehoming them. And now Biles has once again posted another bittersweet update.

Simone Biles shared a surprising update with her 7.1 million fans just days after her two male dogs, Zeus and Rambo, had been at odds, prompting a desperate cry for help from Biles. However, in a recent Instagram story with a heartwarming twist, the duo was spotted sitting side by side on a cozy dog bed, staring directly into the camera, in a picture shared by Biles. Her caption read, “And I love these lil sh*ts more than anything!!!!! If you know me my dogs are hella spoiled…. & I’m OBSESSED with my fur babies buuttttt”

The most decorated gymnast continued to share, “This has been going on for a year now…… ugh”. Rambo and Zeus, both male dogs, have been engaged in an ongoing struggle for dominance. This has wreaked havoc on Biles’s life. In a desperate cry for help moments before the cute update, she shared that the situation is so challenging that she is contemplating a decision as difficult as considering rehoming them.

Just days ago, Simone Biles disclosed that Zeus and Rambo, in an attempt to claim their dominance over each other, have been in pee wars, marking their territories in and around her home. Frustrated and seemingly out of options, she turned to her Instagram audience, posting a choose-an-option poll on her stories. One option pleaded, “Keep trying…” while the other suggested “Re-home them.” with a broken heart emoji.

Biles expressed her exasperation, stating, “I’m at my WITS END with these boys… I don’t know what to do anymore to stop them from having dominance PEE wars in the house… We’ve tried sprays, diapers, obedience training, anything you can think of we’ve tried it…. It’s gotten so bad that they started peeing on the concrete outside to mark…”

Biles contemplated the necessity of separating them, admitting, “I’m starting to think they need to be separated—home-wise. They started fighting too now. Over toys and space. I’m lost, but I can’t do it anymore. HELP? Do we give them away?????? They literally pee on ANYTHING….” That wasn’t the end of her woes.  She shared her apprehensions about the problem persisting into the next year as she and her husband prepare to move into their dream home, currently under construction in Houston, Texas. Biles explained that this “means new places to mark. They’re so cute but SO BAD TOGETHER”.

Biles and Owens adore their fur babies, and it is evident as they consistently share heartwarming updates about these adorable munchkins. Despite this affection, the recent developments have left the gymnastics queen visibly frustrated.

Simone Biles, who has overcome the most difficult obstacles in her sporting career, now has to deal with the complex dynamics of being a pet parent. It all began after she returned to her Texas mansion post her supporting trysts for her husband, Jonathan Owens. The Green Bay Packers player lives away due to NFL commitments while Biles lives with their adorable bulldogs, Lilo, Rambo, and Zeus. She, however, has a few tricks up her sleeve to mitigate a rather troublesome pet-induced situation.

Just recently, an unanticipated conflict took place between her French bulldog, Rambo, and Owens English bulldog Zeus stressing the gymnast. Even the most successful athletes have to deal with the common challenges of daily life. Still a budding-pet-mom who’s learning the nitty gritty of being a watchful pet parent, Biles shared an update with her fans betwixt this distress.

The seven-time Olympic medalist shared her perpetual uphill battles with her adorably feral bulldogs on Instagram. For context, what at first appeared to be innocuous antics developed into a full-blown dominance battle. Following the update, Simone shared another Instagram story with a screenshot of the song ‘W.A.Y.S.’ by Jhené Aiko. She added a few hand-heart emojis, saying it’s her calm amid the chaotic home setting. Pet owners would relate to her situation, wouldn’t they?

In her previous story, the most decorated gymnast vented her annoyance and described her thorough attempts—which included using sprays, diapers, and obedience training—to keep her pet problems at bay, but to no avail. She even confessed to considering the painful option of permanently splitting from her furry friends. While the fate of Zeus and Rambo is still unknown, Biles turns to her Instagram family for comfort.

Known for being forthright, Simone often draws attention to the continuing drama with her pets. Fans speculate on the resolution or whether it’s a request for further help after reading the cryptically esoteric post. The seriousness of the matter is evident as her fans eagerly anticipate the release of the next chapter in her canine chronicles, and Biles is turning to her online network for support and guidance.

The furry distress in Simone Biles’s life to be nipped in the bud or not to be?

Just one week post their Mexico destination wedding, the Packers called on Owens to Wisconsin for training. Since then, which is even before Simone’s comeback, she has been a single parent to their pets, sometimes joined by Jonathan during his breaks. Meanwhile, Biles keeps updating her legions of fans with their everyday shenanigans.

Previous posts on her Instagram account document a string of hardships, including instances in which the dogs even ate worms. She frequently talks about trying many solutions and even asks her followers for assistance on how to sail through the storms effectively.

Just recently, in her frustration, she also revealed some huge announcements about moving into her dream house—which she shares with her husband. She is excited for her new house to be finished, but the dog-related problems have brought an unanticipated level of stress to her already busy life. Even the most accomplished people have to deal with everyday hardships, even if the problem is as common as being a pet mom.

Simone Biles wants everyone to know that Jonathan Owens is all hers!

On Monday, the pro gymnast, 26, reacted to PEOPLE naming her NFL player husband as one of the 21 sexiest men in sports on her Instagram Story. Biles posted a screenshot of the article’s headline next to the section on Owens, a safety for the Green Bay Packers.

She expressed her admiration for Owens, 28, by tagging his account and adding an overheated face and a white heart emoji.

“Easy people….. He’s mine,” the four-time Olympic gold medalist jokingly wrote over the post. “But he is sexy!!!!!!”

Biles and Owens tied the knot in a Texas courthouse wedding in April before they wed again in Cabo San Lucas a month later.

Since then, the couple have been navigating a long-distance marriage after Owens — who was playing for their hometown Houston, Texas, when they met — signed with the Green Bay Packers in May.

The pair have recently been celebrating the holidays in Green Bay, dressing up in matching Halloween costumes and even posing for an adorable fall-inspired photoshoot in early November.

In October, Biles opened up on the Today show about how her perspective on gymnastics has changed since getting married.

“Gymnastics is just something I get to come in and have the privilege of doing. I don’t feel like it’s the end all be all anymore, as before I kind of felt like that,” Biles explained at the time. “I get to go home to my husband, to my dogs, to my house and all of the things. So it feels really good.”

“It’s been really fun supporting what he loves to do,” she added. “Obviously, he’s in Green Bay right now so my season just ended. I’m super excited to get out there to Green Bay for the holidays to support him.”

In the same interview, Biles also said she’ll attempt to meet up with Taylor Swift if the singer is at Travis Kelce and the Kansas City Chiefs’ game against the Packers on Dec. 3. Today host Hoda Kotb brought it up, telling the Olympian, “I’d like to see you and Taylor. It’d be really cute, it’d be a nice photo opp.”

Biles responded: “I actually will be going to that game!”

“Let’s just try to have a moment there if we can, OK?” Kotb suggested, to which Biles nodded and said “yes, OK… will do.”

There are many reasons for Simone Biles to celebrate now that she is formally recognized as the most decorated gymnast of all time! The 26-year-old first took off for Wisconsin on game day to support her spouse, a Green Bay Packer safety. After that, she flew back home to spend time with her friends and pets and to celebrate life’s little pleasures. Simone has been having a great time, whether it’s brightening days with her pals or having exciting evenings out. And has been sharing cute photos of herself and her girl gang hanging out with her 7.1 million Instagram followers.

Two years after her emotional Tokyo Olympics exit, US superstar Simone Biles made a spectacular and dramatic return to international gymnastics at the world championships on Sunday.

The 26-year-old successfully became the first female gymnast to execute a “Yurchenko double pike vault” now renamed “Biles II” during women’s qualifying.

Her ambitious return earned her 15.266 points, far ahead of the competition.

In total, she accumulated 58.865 points at the end of the four apparatuses and took the lead in qualifying.

A 19-time world and four-time Olympic champion, Biles arrived in Japan for the 2021 Olympics as the huge favourite thanks to her four titles won five years earlier in Rio.

However, she broke down in full view of a global audience, withdrawing from most of the events.

She then explained that she was fighting against “twisties”, a temporary mental block whereby gymnasts lose their sense of where they are in the air, with the risk of injury when they land.

She returned to action at the beginning of August and demonstrated that she had lost none of her incredible level.

US’ Simone Biles competes in the balance beam during the women’s qualifying session at the 52nd FIG Artistic Gymnastics World Championships, in Antwerp, northern Belgium, on October 1, 2023.

She won the US Classic, where she obtained the best scores on vault, floor and beam, followed by a record eighth US all-around title at the national championships.

“I think what success means to me is a little bit different than before because before everyone defined success for me, even if I had my own narrative that I wanted,” Biles told Olympics.com prior to the world championships.

“So, now, it’s just showing up, being in a good head place, having fun out there, and whatever happens, happens.”

On Sunday, she also competed on the uneven bars for 14.400 points, balance beam where she scored 14.566 and then soared on the floor exercise for a reward of 14.633.

That paved the way for her spectacular vault.

Biles and her USA team will now go for team gold on Wednesday in Antwerp.

I want Taylor Swift and Kansas City Chiefs star Travis Kelce to get all they can out of their relationship. I hope Simone Biles and Green Bay Packers safety Jonathan Owens have a long and productive marriage. I wish we lived in a world in which the level of coverage around these two power couples wasn’t dictated by their race.

Swift is a household name and a megastar. But there’s no way in hell that the greatest gymnast of all time — who has won this country countless medals — should be overshadowed whenever the two women show up to cheer their men on in person. Look around, there are enough “media outlets” to give both women the attention they, and their relationships, deserve.

Swift is a household name and a megastar. But there’s no way in hell that the greatest gymnast of all time — who has won this country countless medals — should be overshadowed whenever the two women show up to cheer their men on in person. Look around, there are enough “media outlets” to give both women the attention they, and their relationships, deserve.

That sentiment is how I feel about Biles whenever she shows up at games. She’s the greatest to ever do it in her profession, yet the fanfare whenever she shows up at NFL stadiums is nowhere near what happens when Swift — who is nowhere close to being the greatest female or male pop star in the history of music — arrives.

Like most men, the NFL doesn’t care about Taylor Swift — or women. The NFL only cares about what Taylor Swift — and women — can do for them. And at this moment, Swift is great for business. According to NBC, because of Swift, the Chiefs’ Week Four Sunday Night Football win over the New York Jets at MetLife Stadium was the most-watched Sunday show since last season’s Super Bowl. The game drew an average audience of 27 million viewers and peaked at 29.4 million. The numbers also showed that the game drew an additional two million female viewers.

“[Taylor Swift’s] stature is such that when she does something people follow,” Marcus Collins, professor of marketing at Michigan Ross School of Business, told Yahoo Finance last month. “She’s influencing a group of people and those people are influencing each other and other people. There’s a network effect that’s at play.

“There was a consortium of people that tuned into these games that the NFL doesn’t typically reach,” he explained. “Those people are showing up not because they’re fans of the NFL, which means that the league is now benefiting from this new meaning associated with it.”

The Swift Effect can’t be ignored, as she’s long proven her worth. But, let’s not act like Biles is just out here doing cartwheels.

“Simone Biles isn’t most gymnasts,” wrote Bleacher Report’s Tyler Conway last month. “The American superstar pulled off arguably her greatest feat yet during Sunday’s World Championships, becoming the first woman to pull off the Yurchenko double pike in international competition. The move will now be christened the Biles II. Earlier this year, Biles became the oldest woman to win the U.S. Gymnastics championships. She’s the oldest woman to make the United States roster for the World Championships in over 50 years.”

In 2021, Time Magazine named Biles as the Athlete of the Year. But, we know why Al Michaels isn’t stumbling over his words and talking about Biles during broadcasts like he does with Swift.

This isn’t a knock on Swift or the popularity that she’s deservedly earned. I also understand that Kelce is a bigger star than Owens. But, Russell Wilson was once the face of the NFL, too. And his marriage to R&B/pop singer Ciara hasn’t garnered anywhere near the same attention.

Be clear, I’m not trying to turn this into a popularity contest or some high school fairytale between the cheerleader and the captain of the football team. I’m trying to get you to see how Black love is so often disregarded and ignored in our society. I’m not asking you to cheer for one couple more than the other. I’m asking you to wonder why one couple gets so much more attention than the other — and to ponder how similar the coverage and attention might be if everyone involved was white. The Packers host the Chiefs on Sunday Night Football in Week 13. Pay attention to who gets the most camera time.

Simone Biles, the gymnastic queen, waved her victory flag with her 6th World Title clinch at the recent 2023 Artistic Gymnastics Championship. Besides, she also anchored her team to a well-deserved gold. Moreover, as an addition to her winning streak, she earned her vault and floor World Title. For a gymnast of such a great measure, perfect landings are crucial. While her profession wraps up high-energy displays within seconds, she questioned a basic posture.

Moreover, as an addition to her winning streak, she earned her vault and floor World Title. For a gymnast of such a great measure, perfect landings are crucial. While her profession wraps up high-energy displays within seconds, she questioned a basic posture.

Along with the Olympian, several fans landed on her comment section to narrate their sides. While some respected Biles’ strenuous maneuver, some literally answered her question in a fun way.

Fans have mixed reactions

One fan clearly stated that her inability to stand justifies because the GOAT herself struggles to stand for long. She wrote, “If Simone Biles can’t, i can’t either.” Another fan connected Biles’ line with his individual tale, saying, “I recently took a trip to Boston and NYC; did so much walking and standing that my feet were contemplating launching their own American Revolution.” On the other hand, one fan had some sarcasm up his sleeves. He chose to answer the question directly, saying, “Maybe stick to defying gravity? We’ve got standing covered. Thanks! “

Furthermore, a Biles fan heaved a sigh of relief at his incompetence, said, “When Superwoman has problems standing but can triple quintuple twist in the air at the end of a full sprint after hitting a crazy vault and land on her own two feet, then I feel okay when I can’t stand for long times too.” Another fan added, “It’s freaking adorable that you of all people would be stumped by how people can stand all day—although you’re right, it’s so exhausting!” One fan almost sprung up at a possible surpass, said “OMG I can do something Simone can’t.”

A truly remarkable World Gymnastics Championship week saw exceptional performances by Simone Biles this month. Biles cemented her status as the undisputed G.O.A.T in gymnastics with her record-breaking 37 Worlds and Olympics combined medals. With Biles, the US team won their seventh straight team gold leaving Brazil and France behin. Likewise, Leanne Wong’s consistency and skills at the World Championships have certainly contributed to Team USA’s remarkable success.

Additionally, an unexpected turn of events put Wong at the center of attention. With incredible camaraderie, Leanne stepped up and performed on the vault and floor when her teammate Joscelyn Roberson had to step out of competition due to injury. The American gymnasts held up higher standards throughout the championship. A glimpse of what went down behind the scenes in thick of action was exclusively revealed to our team recently. Leanne opened up about how hectic it was for her. Now, she has revealed what it’s like for Simone Biles!

In a recent exclusive interview with Essentially Sports, Leanne Wong asked, “Whats the most surprising thing about Simone that people don’t know? Like if I were to get to know Simone Biles, what would surprise me?” The Kansas-born gymnast replied, “Simone Biles is incredibly talented and has 30 World Championship medals under her belt, but she’s still human.”

Through Biles’s decade-long elite commitment to gymnastics, she has often shown incredible tenacity. This unwavering quality is demonstrated in her comeback to the competitive scene following a two-year professional break. Wong added, “Simone still gets nervous, makes mistakes, and gets tired like everyone else. Everything she does looks effortless, but all her success doesn’t come without a lot of hard work.” However, many critics were quick to label her a “quitter” since her event withdrawal during the Tokyo Olympics.

Wong made a rather unfamiliar revelation to ES saying, “ I have had the ‘Twisties’ and they are a gymnast’s biggest nightmare.” For a gymnast, losing control of their body may be a terrifying stage in their career, she said. Having entered the senior league joining Biles, the 2021 Worlds all-around silver medalist was quick to back her teammate. While the internet-fueled injustice posed on Wong, both gymnasts were busy leaving the spectators in awe of their performances.

Simone Biles and Leanne Wong’s twin impression moment

Leanne Wong’s act was anything but ordinary gliding through the air captivating the 12,000-strong audience at the 2023 U.S. Gymnastics Championships in San Jose, California. At the same venue, Simone Biles won her eighth U.S. Championship, setting a record.

Biles’s highlight came on the vault, as she performed the Yurchenko double pike three times without error. Only Biles has been able to execute the difficult move in competition. No other woman has been able to do it!

Seated at the front row, judge Shari Mann, shared her amazement after evaluating their thrilling performances during the World Championships selection camp. Mann said, “Watching Simone come back from her break and perform the way she did was just phenomenal.”  She further added, “Leanne Wong hit 18 for 18 routines in the competitions… Just to get a front row seat to watch some awesome gymnastics is just amazing.” Now, hitting the high road the next act of brilliance will capture gymnasts performing at the much-anticipated Summer Olympics in Paris next year.
