The Laureus World Sports Awards have returned for another iteration. American gymnastics superstar Simone Biles has unsurprisingly made it to the nominees of the awards list once again. After all, the 26-year-old reemerged from a two-year-long hiatus and straightaway won another world championship all-around gold.

Owing to this stellar revival, Simone Biles has been nominated for the ‘World Comeback of The Year’ Award. This moved the gymnastics GOAT to write a heartfelt message for all her supporters and well-wishers who stood by her side. Reflecting her love for them, Biles added a new story on Instagram and showered her appreciation.

She wrote, “I’m always speechless about these nominations 😭🥹🤍. My sincerest gratitude for everyone who has supported me & continues to support my journey & dream💋💋💋💋💋.” The emojis suggest that the mighty Olympian was moved to tears because of this.

This award means a lot to Simone Biles. All the glorious conversation around her got polluted with the conversation of her twisties. Moreover, many even said that the elite gymnast was turning her back on her country and wasn’t a true patriot. But, her loyal fans didn’t let her reputation get tarnished and have been cheering harder right from Biles’ US Classic return.

Notably, Biles has already won the Laureus World Awards thrice thanks to her abilities and her fanbase. While Biles is reaping the benefits of her efforts in Antwerp, she is also enjoying a vacation. In fact, her latest post suggests that she doesn’t want to come back anytime soon.

When Simone Biles turned her vacation into a staycation

Simone Biles and Jonathan Owens are on a romantic getaway in Hawaii. The couple had made landfall on the lush islands to attend the wedding of a friend. But now, both of them can’t have enough of the beautiful gifts Hawaii has to offer. Biles especially is fully mesmerized by the Hawaii experience and has added several posts of her holiday.

The latest Simone Biles post showcased her with a surfboard suggesting that the gymnast is in the mood of riding the waves. However, her caption said that she canceled her return ticket back home. This comes in addition to a previous post where she said that she was looking for a realtor. Does this mean that the Olympic champ will make a new home in Hawaii? Or will she just make it her holiday destination?

Simone Biles, one of the greatest gymnasts of all time, expressed her gratitude after being nominated for the Laureus World Comeback of the Year 2024 for her sensational 2023 season.

In 2023, Biles returned to the competitive sport in the U.S. Classic 2023, two years after her appearance at the Tokyo Olympics 2020 in 2021, where she claimed the all-around, balance beam, and floor exercise titles, and collected the bronze in the uneven bars.

In the U.S. National Championships 2023, Biles surpassed the record of Al Jochim of seven national titles by claiming her eighth all-around national title. Additionally, she bagged the gold medals on balance beam, floor exercise, and a bronze in the bars.

This also made her the oldest woman to claim the title at 26 years and 166 days, breaking Linda Metheny Mulvihill (24 years and 100 days) in 1971.

On her comeback, Simone Biles delivered a spectacular performance at the Artistic Gymnastics World Championships 2023 by clinching four gold medals in the team, all-around, balance beam, floor exercise, and a silver on vault.

Her sixth gold medal in the floor exercise event made her the first gymnast ever to achieve such an accomplishment on a single apparatus in the World Championships’ history.

After being nominated for the prestigious awards, the four-time Olympic champion, Simone Biles took to her Instagram (IG) account to share her emotions, stating:

Olympic champion Simone Biles and her husband, Jonathan Owens, took a trip to Hawaii to attend the wedding of Carolina Panthers’ linebacker Kamu Grugier-Hill and his fiancee Keely Amelia Carteret.

Biles shared photos on her Instagram page, including one of her in a two-toned bikini posing against a surfboard.

She also shared a photo of the pool at the resort where they are staying and a shadow of her and the Green Bay Packers safety on the beach.

Grugier-Hill and Owens were teammates on the Houston Texans in the 2021-22 NFL season.

Four-time Olympic gold medalist Simone Biles made a remarkable comeback into the world of gymnastics last year. Simone Biles announced her comeback in June 2023 and went on to win her eighth individual all-around at the U.S. Championships in August.

After making her comeback into competitive sports after her hiatus due to the twisties, the gymnastics prodigy has been unstoppable. She also showcased an incredible performance at Antwerp in October, claiming her sixth World Championship title. For her impressive comeback, the GOAT of gymnastics has been nominated for the prestigious 2024 Laureus World Sports Awards. 

Biles received a nomination under the Comeback of the Year category after winning four gold medals and one silver at October’s world championships following her break from the 2020 Tokyo Games. Simone was, however, nominated for the same category back in 2022, but the winner was British skateboarder Sky Brown.

Upon receiving another nomination for this award, the gymnastics legend could not keep her calm and shared a heartfelt note on her recent Instagram story. She reshared the Laureus Sports post on her story and wrote a beautiful caption alongside it, thanking everyone.

In her following story, she also shared the list of nominees who have been nominated in the comeback category along with her and captioned it, “the comeback class.” 

The comeback category nominees apart from Simone Biles are Sébastien Haller (Côte d’Ivoire, Football), Katarina Johnson-Thompson (Great Britain, Athletics), Siya Kolisi (South Africa, Rugby Union), Jamal Murray (Canada, Basketball), and Marketa Vondrousova (Czechia, Tennis).

After seeing her name nominated for the prestigious award, Biles is absolutely over the moon. She would hope to win the award after putting on a spectacular performance since her comeback. Apart from this, Biles recently won The Associated Press’ Female Athlete of the Year award. 

Simone Biles proves she’s the GOAT by winning the AP Female Athlete of the Year Award

Simone Biles is undoubtedly one of the most decorated US gymnasts of all time. Her incredible performances paved the way for many historic accomplishments. Last year, Biles was awarded the Associate Press Female Athlete of the Year for the third time. She is only the sixth athlete to win the award three times.

The award honors female and male athletes, both professional and amateur, for their prowess and excellence in the field every year. Biles’s comeback to the field awaited a lot of anticipation and excitement, and the icon didn’t disappoint. 

On her second return, she bagged her record eighth U.S. national championship and a sixth world all-around gold. For her impressive comeback, she has now been nominated for the Laureus Sports Awards.

Amidst keeping a thorough love for gymnastics, Simone Biles has never been reluctant to refurbish her interest in other sports. Her NFL addiction has already filled her social media feed. Though her husband Jonathan Owens could fairly expect the credit for it, still Mrs. Owens cherishes the fights wholeheartedly by dismissing any hindrance. However, nowadays, the sporting couple is 4304 miles away from their Texan abode, much away from their sporting shackles as well. The courtesy goes to a friend’s wedding invitation. In the meantime, Simone Biles is nurturing her holiday-spending mood vividly.

Previously, her urge to set up a residency in the holiday place, Oahu, made the highlight. Now the 23x World champion has established camaraderie with a benevolent member from a different prime sport in America.

Simone Biles adores her time with a brand new sporting friend 

After posting her toned frame last day, Simone Biles used her IG story to express her love for equines. In Oahu, the Tokyo Olympics champion saw a colt alongside the sea beach. Unable to contain her excitement, she snapped a picture with him and graced it on her IG story. The gleeful caption gauged it to be “CHEEEEESE”. Eventually, she re-shared Jonathan Owens’s thankful post in a subsequent snap. In that snap, the couple was visible to be taking a stroll on the sea beach riding on the horses. JO captioned it as “She got me out here on a horse.” is.

The rest of the clicks in that IG story framed the couple enjoying the sunny climate while sipping the coconut water. Soon, the tropical mood left the place for the ultimate festivity.

Subsequent snaps set in the shared IG story displayed the Biles-Owens taking their full fervor in the friend’s marriage. Eventually, Simone Biles termed Keely Amelia Cartrett and her beau, Kamu Grugier-Hill, as “the most perfect couple” in the posted story. Simone Biles flaunted her special moment with her spouse, Jonathan Owens, by taking a selfie during their wedding festivity. “the one photo we got together….”, captioned the zealous wife, whose favorite destinations are all tropical!

Multiple ways of savoring tropical nature 

Simone Biles didn’t hide her fall for tropical nature when she chose Bora Bora as her favored honeymoon destination. However, a confirmed spillover of that endeavor is yet to take place. But the 26-year-old American starlet flaunted herself, taking every sip of nature in Oahu. Her holiday days in the venue vibed perfectly with JO as the couple matched wearings and romanticism. On February 24, Simone shared her IG story with a romantic carousel framing Jonathan.

In the frames, the beach and the vast ocean remained the witness while the couple kissed each other. The next frame displayed the NFL star, much relaxed, taking an uncontrolled walk on the Oahu beach. Simone Biles captivated the scenes by wearing bikinis or any beach-suited attire, employing quality time under the sun. Thus, the Oahu outing has proved to be a perfect holiday for the couple so far.

Vacations by the ocean are always something that gymnast Simone Biles has been drawn to. The Olympic star, known for her extravagant outings and celebrations, recently went out on one to see her two friends tie the knot. Meanwhile, she wanted to make full use of her getaway to Hawaii.

With husband Jonathan Owens by her side, Biles partied hard during the union, celebrating with friends in style. However, she also made time to bask in the sunny beaches, donning some of her cherished bikini suits for stunning photos. These outfits caught the attention of fans quickly because of how well Biles styled them.

In a series of stories and photos on her Instagram, the Olympian flaunted various beach-appropriate fits and posed happily with her friends and husband. Amidst flowy floral gowns and adorning Hawaiian garlands, Biles’ tropical getaway to a wedding was what she needed to rejuvenate.

She also spent an early morning at the beach, where she took Owens on a horseback ride. The idea was to get a sunrise photoshoot at the beach, and the horses served as some form of a theme. Posting a glimpse of the adventure, the NFL icon laughed at his wife’s shenanigans.

Meanwhile, Biles also flooded her socials with adorable pictures from the wedding and the shoot. These included a hilarious shot with her horse leaning over her shoulder as she laughed at the camera. With picturesque locations and a sea breeze hitting their faces, their vacation was more than a breath of fresh air.

Before she could leave for the destination wedding, however, Biles ensured to keep her getaway as private as possible. Known for her frequent escapades to her mother’s hometown, Belize, she kept Hawaii a secret until later.

Simone Biles keeps her vacation a hush-hush affair

The Olympian and her NFL icon husband didn’t initially seem keen on making their vacation spot public. Days before they left, the gymnast posted Owens’ picture at the beach with the caption, “Ready to go on vacation again.”

They did not disclose the location before posting various glimpses of their travel. These included a picture of an airplane window overlooking the ocean and mountains below and another picture of Owens with the caption, “Prepare to be sick of me.” In the end, they revealed that the wedding they intended to attend was that of her friend, Keely Amelia Cartrett, and her fiancé, Kamu Grugier-Hill, in O’ahu, Hawaii.

After having a rigorous sports season, NFL hunk Jonathan Owens and USA’s gymnastics sensation Simone Biles were eagerly waiting to unwind and spend some quality time together. Directly after this, an opportunity by the name of Keely Amelia Cartrett knocked on the door.

Recently, Simone Biles and Jonathan Owens have been sharing pictures of their time celebrating the wedding ceremonies of their close friends Kamu Grugier Hill and Keely Amelia Cartrett. This has given Biles and Owens a great opportunity to spend a much-needed break together before the gymnastic’s queen heads to Paris.

Simone Biles’ posting wedding pictures

Simone Biles experienced a momentous day as her close friend tied the knot with Kamu Grugier Hill. Recently, both Biles and Owens together attended the wedding ceremony. Biles took to her Instagram account to commemorate the occasion and shared a series of photos alongside her husband and bridesmaids. Accompanying the snapshots, Biles penned, “Weddings“.

In addition to the photo collage, Biles also extended her heartfelt congratulations to the newlyweds. “Congrats!!What a beautiful wedding for the perfect couple“, she uploaded a story featuring a snip from a wedding where the newly weds are seen kissing to showcase the undeniable bond they share.

However, the occasion was not limited to Biles attending her friend’s wedding. Instead, she took advantage of the moment and spent quality time with her husband, whom she married back in May 2023. Therefore, spectators also urged themselves to come up and take a glance at Simone Biles’ recent post.

Fans abuzz after taking a glimpse of adorable couple

A few hours after Simone shared sweet pictures with her husband, her Insta family of seven million could not help but gush over the moments the couple shared at the exotic beach destination. Among the flood of reactions, one fan, warisia54, expressed, “black love, what a beautiful couple!“. Similarly, another fanCherryp52, declared Biles and her partner as “My favourite couple, ❤️love y’all “, showering love on them.

While many fans were delighted to witness the couple enjoying, others injected humour into the conversation. One such fan playfully teased Biles and penned, “Damn, Ms Simone biles better watch her husband not peeking at @gabbycvdouglas competing at the Olympics”. 

The diversified range of responses reflected the immense affection from their devoted fanbase. Now, spectators are even more eager to look at the next update from Simone Biles.

Simone Biles still prefers the tropical French Polynesian island as her honeymoon destination. Keeping all the hectic crunches on uneven bars and balance beams aside, she still votes for finding solace in relaxing in the sunlight with her husband, Jonathan Owens. So, dismissing the Winter Cup nomination was not tough for the gymnastic ace, in front of a holiday chance of sunbathing. This time, the destination has changed to a different island, but the tropical option has remained constant.

Presently, Simone Biles is in Oahu, Hawaii, enjoying her vacation with Jonathan Owens. The poised American icon has flaunted several proofs of her “relaxing” mode there. The latest ones have not been exceptional. But those have increased the style quotient by many more degrees.

Simone Biles prefers to go unhinged in the choice of fashion 

Previously, the gymnast earned a lot of attention by releasing her artistic standing avatar under the oceanic blue sky. This time, Simone has caused havoc by displaying her curvy build, clad in an off-yellow bikini. A strict regime of physical exercise has vaunted that figure. But the style statement has undoubtedly reached sky-high. Under the dusky light and palm leaves, the post has already sent fashion goals to many. The concerned IG post went viral with the caption, “dress code: bikini”. 

Simone Biles

In the posted snaps, Simone Biles has hidden her face behind a summer hat, highlighting the tropical climate around her. In the continuing much-longed vacation, the mood has been just like that- let the snaps do the talking. Through such a daunting message, the Tokyo Olympics all-around champion has clarified the statement of spending leisure time undisturbed, spelled in only making marks. That was evident since the couple took the fight to the destination a few days ago.

The much-needed break before the hardest battle 

Simone Biles shared her debacles of managing sports engagements and romantic affairs on the same platter several times. But this time when the unexpected invitation came, the merrier wife could only pen, “Prepare to be sick of me,” to JO. Since then, time has stepped into a different world for her, showing the camaraderie the couple shares between them. In the process, the Hawaii island’s natural aesthetic has motivated Simone to let her think about life outside of the gymnastics huff puff.

Even the picturesque beauty of the destination has overwhelmed her to find a residing place, away from the tense brick lanes of Texas. But shedding the leotard and slipping into the bikini has suited the 23x world champion for a moment. She still eyes the Core Hydration Classic and the consecutive battles up to the Paris Olympics 2024. Simone’s toned figure has served a notion in that.

Simone Biles took a much-needed vacation with her NFL husband, Jonathan Owens, to Oahu, Hawaii, following his final game of the football season, and she has the bikini photos to prove it.

On Sunday the seven-time Olympic gold medalist took to Instagram to share a couple of scenes from the trip with her 7 million followers. In the sultry snapshots, the gymnast wore a butter yellow terrycloth string bikini and a straw cowboy hat in true yeehaw-agenda fashion. She further accessorized the look with a silver belly ring and a long pendant necklace with a bedazzled heart.

“Dress code: bikini,” she captioned the post.

The Hawaii trip comes amid her exciting return to training and competition at the end of last year. Biles told Sports Illustrated she decided to go “full force” after marrying the Green Bay Packers defensive back in the hope of potentially representing the US at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games. Biles had previously pulled out of the 2021 Tokyo Olympics due to a bout of the twisties, a mental block that impedes your ability to locate your body in space.

Thankfully, Simone Biles seems to be finding time to rest her body in between training sessions. “Point me to the nearest realtor,” Biles captioned another stunning vacation photo presumably taken by her husband.

On Sunday, the Olympic gold medalist posted a series of bikini snaps as she posed in a cowboy hat while on vacation in Oahu, Hawaii, with husband Jonathan Owens.

In the first photo, Biles sat perched on a sun lounger outdoors at a resort as she wore a light-yellow textured bikini, and a cowboy hat covering her face. She was seen in a follow-up snap sitting up as she held the hat over her face once again. Sun loungers could be seen in the background, lined along a grassy lawn surrounded by palm trees.

The champion gymnast, 26, accessorized with a silver navel ring and an embellished heart pendant necklace, sporting white nail polish.

“Dress code: bikini,” Biles wrote in the caption.

Biles revealed on Thursday that she and her NFL-player husband, 28, had set off on vacation together in a post on Instagram.

“Prepare to be sick of me,” she jokingly warned her 7.1 million followers at the time as she posted photos of her and Owens on their plane journey.

Since arriving in Oahu, it appears Biles has fallen in love with the destination, as she suggested in an earlier post shared over the weekend her plans of moving there.

“Point me to the nearest realtor,” Biles wrote in the caption as she posted photos of herself twirling on a grassy hill, overlooking a nearby beach.

“Man 😍😍😍🔥🔥 Beautiful baby,” Owens wrote in response to his wife in the comment section.

Biles’ vacation with Owens comes after the pair paid loving tributes to each other in honor of the recent Valentine’s Day holiday.

“Every day feels like valentines day with you 🤭,” Biles wrote in a message on Instagram as she posted a black-and-white photo with her husband.

“I love you so much baby ❤️🤞🏽,” the Green Bay Packers player commented back, going on to call Biles his “best friend” in his own sweet message to her.

“You’re my rock, I feel like i can accomplish anything as long as i have you by my side. So excited to see where life takes us, I love you so much baby ❤️❤️❤️,” Owens wrote.
