Gymnasts REACT To Simone Biles Pregnancy ANNOUNCEMENTâŠ
As Simone Biles continues to make history at the 2024 Summer Olympics, the gymnastâs support system is celebrating her accomplishments.
After Biles, 27, helped Team USA win gold in the gymnastics team final earlier this week â becoming the most-decorated U.S. gymnast ever with that victory â she put herself in the history books again with another feat.
On Thursday, Aug. 1, Biles earned the gold medal in the womenâs artistic gymnastics all-around final in Paris, making her the first woman to win two Olympic all-around titles since Vera Caslavska in 1968.
Aside from fellow Olympians and celebrities saluting her historic wins, Bilesâ loved ones also celebrated her latest gold medal, including her NFL husband Jonathan Owens, 29, and her sister Adria Biles, 25.
Owens reacted to the all-around final victory on X (formerly Twitter), writing, âAnother one!!!! đ„â€ïž Youâre so amazing đ€©đ€©.â The Chicago Bears player shared his reaction alongside a video of Bilesâ score on X and Instagram.
Bilesâ sister Adria reacted to the ninth medal on her Instagram Stories, sharing a photo of the gymnast with it and writing a message in all capital letters.
âShut the eff up I have the coolest big sisterrrrrr,â Adria wrote. âWhat a freaking boss babe!! ILYSFMđ€đ€đ€đ€đ€.â
Biles now has nine medals: six golds, one silver and two bronzes.
âWitnessing history every time you step on the mat đđ„,â Owens wrote at the time. âCongrats baby on becoming the most decorated American gymnast in Olympic history!!!! Just wow!!!! 8 of them!!!!! So thankful i was there to see it â€ïžđ€đ.â
While taking the podium Thursday, Biles sported a fitting necklace â a sparkly goat on a silver chain. The goat references her G.O.A.T. (âgreatest of all timeâ) status.
âMy goat necklace, is just kind of an ode, because the people love it and then some people hate it, so itâs like the best of both worlds,â Biles told reporters, including PEOPLE, in a press conference. âI was like, okay, if it goes well, Iâll wear the goat necklace, I know people will go crazy over it.â
âBut at the end of the day, it is crazy that Iâm in the conversation of greatest of all time athletes, because I still think Iâm Simone Biles from Spring, Texas, that loves to flip,â she added.
Biles will have more chances to add to her hardware count when she competes in the the individual event finals for vault, balance beam and floor exercise.
