The fight for a place on the U.S. women’s gymnastics team is on inside the Kentucky International Convention Center, and it’s a close contest between the best of America. With over 30 gymnasts in contention, the first three rotations saw breathtaking competition between Trinity Thomas, Skye Blakely, and Kayla Dicello. But the excitement touched heights when Simone Biles started to cheer behind the young generation.

Biles is missing the ongoing Winter Cup 2024 because she has already qualified for the national team. However, she has all her eyes glued to the screens as the younger generation prepares at the Kentucky International Convention Center.

Simone Biles impressed with gymnasts at Winter Cup 2024

It seems Simone Biles is all eyes on the ongoing Winter Cup as women gymnasts fight it out for a place in the national team. The Olympic Medalist took to X to comment on the performance of the gymnasts so far, and she was highly impressed. “The girls are not playing around this year”, she wrote as Kayla Dicello and Trinity Thomas aim for Olympic berths while Suni Lee had a disappointing comeback.

Lee made a return, but she wouldn’t be satisfied after falling twice on the uneven bars. The 2020 All-around champion fell right after she started her routine and as she regained the momentum back, Lee lost her grip on the bars once again. But the 20-year-old restarted once again and made a spectacular landing to take home 11.8 points. She didn’t perform the full-twisting Jaeger as well but will participate next on the balance beam. While she looks to find a bit of form, and a little luck, the likes of Thomas and DiCello are on absolute fire at the moment.

Trinity Thomas, Skye Blakely, and Kayla Dicello lead the Winter Cup standings

Thomas led the first rotation with a stellar performance to take the first position on 14.050 points. The World Medalist was followed by an equal score from DiCello, who soon raced with the lead in the second rotation. The 2023 Pan American champion topped the standings in the 2nd and 3rd rotations as well and is highly likely to retain the standing after the fourth rotation as well.

She stands on 42.550 while Skye Blakely ranks 2nd for now on 40.450 points. Thomas, who is making her first elite appearance since 2019, couldn’t maintain her momentum after the first rotation and ranks 5th on 40.050 points. While it doesn’t look like anyone will be able to overtake DiCello, anything can happen in the sport. So, keep hanging, just like Simone Biles is.

Legendary gymnast Simone Biles’ husband Jonathan Owens recently expressed his admiration towards the former’s pictures from their recent getaway.

Biles and Owens recently embarked on a swift escape to Hawaii. The couple is attending the wedding of American football linebacker, Kamu Grugier-Hill, who is getting married to Keely Amelia Cartrett, a former University of Georgia women’s soccer player.

The beloved American gymnast shared a few glimpses, of her exotic getaway, with her fans. She was seen donning a white bikini with a black cover-up dress. She paired the outfit with her signature necklace with an Owens pendant. The gymnast enhanced her look with golden raindrop jewelry.

The pictures shared by her show the most admired gymnast absorbing the breathtaking beach atmosphere of Hawaii amidst the island’s stunning beauty. Lightheartedly hinting at her desire to prolong her stay at the scenic island, the gymnast captioned the post:

In awe of her beauty, Owens, the Green Bay Packer’s strong safety, couldn’t control his admiration and commented:

Artistic gymnastics stalwart Simone Biles recently added several new images that have dropped on the internet like a bombshell. The 23x Olympic gold medalist revealed a bold avatar of herself right after she shared that she was on a romantic vacation with Jonathan Owens.

While her latest Instagram pictures carry a lot of oomph, the caption she posted has generated a new wave of curiosity among her fans. Simone Biles wrote, “Point me to the nearest realtor” alongside her stunning images with the tropical landscape of Hawaii in the background.

Notably, the gymnastics GOAT is also busy with the development and construction work of her new house in Texas. The house is a water-facing abode and a dream house for both Simone Biles and Johnathan Ownes. However, it seems that the beautiful environment of the Hawaiian islands has wowed the artistic gymnast.

The couple had initially kept the destination of their secret vacation getaway a secret. But later, Simone Biles and Jonathan Ownes unveiled that their lovely shenanigans were taking place in O’ahu, Hawaii. While they could have kept the location anonymous for longer, Biles’ desire to see a realtor would have blown the cover anyway. Moreover, their latest pictures at a wedding celebration would have also dispelled the mystery.

Simone Biles recently shared an Instagram story showcasing a wedding invitation card of her close friends, Keely Amelia Cartrett, and her fiancé, Kamu Grugier-Hill. Thus, what initially looked like a random feel-good vacation was later revealed to be a wedding ceremony. Captioning the story, Biles wrote, “Let’s get y’all married”. She was also seen enjoying herself with the bride-to-be with some alcohol shots.

A thrilled Simone Biles captioned this story update, “Shot o’ clock baby.” In addition, her husband, Jonathan Owens, proudly uploaded a photo of the stunning Biles on his Instagram story. Biles is seen in the image wearing a black knitted outfit and clutching a glass of margarita. Notably, the adorable couple will also be celebrating their wedding anniversary in another two months.

Simone Biles and Jonathan Owens exchanged wedding vows on 22 April 2023. While their fans can vouch that they have been married for an eternity, it is hard to believe that the romantic duo hasn’t even completed a year. But, will the duo buy themselves a vacation home before completing the one-year mark? Pour down your thoughts in the comments section.

Simone Biles won’t be on the floor when the Olympic season officially kicks off for the U.S. women.

More than 30 women will compete Saturday at Winter Cup, the first meet of this all-important season. That Biles won’t be among them isn’t a surprise, however. She traditionally begins her season at the U.S. Classic, which is later in the spring.

Besides, Biles doesn’t need to do Winter Cup, which many women are using to qualify for the U.S. championships in May. She’s already qualified as a member of last year’s team for the world championships, where she won, well, everything.

Biles led the U.S. women to the team gold before winning her sixth all-around title. She also won gold on balance beam and floor exercise and a silver on vault. The five medals gave her 37 at the world championships and Olympics, making her the most-decorated gymnast of all time, male or female.

Biles and her husband, Green Bay Packers safety Jonathan Owens, are actually on vacation this weekend, based on their Instagram posts. But expect to see her at Classic, which is May 17-19 in Hartford, Connecticut.

Simone Biles and Jonathan Owens are finally in vacation mode. After a demanding 2023 season for both athletes, the NFL hunk and gymnastics queen are eager to unwind and soak up some vitamin sea. Just days ago, Simone took to her Instagram stories and teased their upcoming escape, sharing a snapshot of her husband Jonathan leisurely walking along a beach path surrounded by palm trees.

Her caption read, “Ready to go on vacation again.” Fast forward to today, and the couple has made their grand escape to a mysterious location. However, Mr. Owens couldn’t resist dropping a tantalizing hint for their eager fans.

Where are Simone Biles and Jonathan Owens vacationing?

Jonathan Owens took to Instagram stories recently and shared a major hint on the couple’s location of their mysterious tropical getaway. Mr. Owens recorded a short snippet of his view from their hotel. The video revealed a breathtaking view from their oceanfront bungalow, with the pristine ocean stretching out before them and lush trees flanking the sides.

The layout of the beach hinted is maybe a slice of paradise nestled in Hawaii. The place sits on acres of lush land with miles of beautiful beachfront for visitors to explore. As the couple embarked on the bliss of their getaway, Simone Biles also provided glimpses into their exciting trip.

Simone’ travel escapade

In her Instagram stories, Simone Biles shared a series of snaps about the exciting trip. She first uploaded an image from an airplane window that showed the beautiful island peeking out from beneath the clouds, surrounded by the vast ocean. Simone Biles added heart-eye emojis and the hushing emoji, indicating the mystery behind the vacation. In a subsequent airplane update, she shared a close-up of her travel partner Jonathan Owens beside her, and she wrote, “Prepare to be sick of me.” The vacation peeks did not end there.

The next slide showed their travel route and the auspicious time, with Simone highlighting the number “444” with a star emoji, considering it to be lucky. Following this, Simone Biles also shared a picture of her view from the resort villa, mirroring Jonathan Owens’ earlier glimpse. As the Winter Cup unfolds during their getaway, fans will undoubtedly miss Simone Biles’ presence. However, they eagerly anticipate more glimpses of this well-deserved vacation.
