Is there anything that isn’t Simone Biles’s cup of tea? No, we’re not exaggerating her brilliance. But just think about the boundary she covers. In Paris, she was the oldest American gymnast ever to compete in the Olympics. At 27, she defeated gymnasts who started their elite careers idolizing her. Now, clock back at the Tokyo Olympics. Simone didn’t have the expected success in the Japanese capital. But she opened up on something that had not been expressed in such a way in the past. She discussed athletes’ mental health, highlighting it as a normal part of their lives rather than a taboo subject. A brave effort! Isn’t it? Now, straightforward to 2025. The American gymnast is still ignoring the boundaries. How?
Simone Biles is in Switzerland right now. After a busy 2024, she and her husband, Jonathan Owens, have entered the much-needed vacation mode. And believe us, this vacation is going to be the perfect getaway for the couple in every way possible. After all, it is one of the rare days when both of them have no sporting engagements. Simone has no gymnastics contests in the upcoming weeks. Jonathan, the Chicago Bears’ NFL safety, however, couldn’t help his team qualify for the playoffs. So, altogether, romantic time is guaranteed during the Swiss vacation. But when Simone is in the picture, you can expect a few more episodes.
Just consider her probably entering into the World Economic Forum’s annual meeting in Davos. Yes, the elite gymnast has become a talk in multiple realms. Now, it seems the time is here to see her in the economic sector. But how?
On the stage, Simone Biles said, “It might be a surprise to a lot of you guys to hear this, but I really don’t like being in the limelight, the center of the room. But it tends to happen to me a lot.” She continued, “I’m really uncomfortable with public speaking, so trust me when I tell you I’d rather be competing on a 4-inch beam in front of you guys.” In Davos, she took a break from her vacation and appeared on The Winning Mindset. And she did it almost away from her fans’ attention. Isn’t that a commendable job? Nonetheless, besides this, there is another part of her life where Simone has made several adjustments. Want to know?
Simone Biles went for choice B in her vacation plan
Remember Simone Biles’s practice sessions last year before the pre-Olympic trial events? She had been thoroughly busy brushing up her skills in the gym in Texas and her husband was playing for the Green Bay Packers in the football season. Naturally, the couple had a large geographical distance between them and they had little chance of closing it. However, that wasn’t the first time they had been experiencing such a gap between them. Rather, since their wedding in 2023, the couple found a little time to spend together. Also, the little time fell short of availing them a chance to get their honeymoon sorted. Meanwhile, the absence of it made Biles share a few relevant things.
In February last year, Simone Biles managed a few minutes from her practice schedule to give an interview to Olympics.com. In the interaction, she was asked about her preferred destination for her honeymoon. Well, her first choice was a tropical heaven. “We would really love to go to Bora Bora and just relax there,” she said. And is there any Plan B? Simone promptly added, “Or I feel like two to three weeks in Europe.” Here they are, in a European nation, distant from their work commitments! So is it their honeymoon Simone Biles once planned? Well, she is having her time. Isn’t she?
