America’s legendary gymnast, Simone Biles, is seen at most NFL games supporting her husband, Jonathan Owens. Arguably the greatest of all time, Biles’ presence and cheers for her husband’s team, the Green Bay Packers, are emphatic. At times, when Biles appeared for the matches, she adorned the famous custom-designed jackets of Kristin Juszczyk. Kristin is the wife of San Francisco 49ers fullback Kyle Juszczyk.

Kristin Juszczyk, who is now the talk of the town, has been making waves in the NFL industry. Her one-of-a-kind puffer jackets had been talked about the most on social media after Taylor Swift’s appearance at the Chief’s playoff game.

Kristin has now landed a groundbreaking contract with the NFL and is authorized to blend any of the league’s team logos into her merchandise.

Soon after this incredible news was announced, celebrities and high-profile stars sent their warmest wishes and admiration. Among them was Simone Biles, who could not keep calm for her friend and shared a story on her Instagram handle, congratulating Kristin with the utmost excitement and love. Biles wrote:

Hopefully, this licensing deal will allow Kristin to design more unique apparel and reach a wider audience. Asli Pelit, a sports deals sporter, via Sportico, said:

Kristin’s name has been etched in history, and fans are excited to see what she comes up with next. With this being massive news for the designer, she is probably on top of the moon and has even thanked Taylor and Brittany Mahomes when they first donned her jackets at the games. However, how did all of this start for the young fashion designer?

Kristin started her fashion career in 2018 when she launched her clothing boutique, Origin. She used to experiment with game-day outfits and once decided to create a costume for herself and Kyle during Halloween. This was where it all began for the star. Kristin said:

From then on, she designed custom pieces for celebrities like Taylor Swift, Simone Biles, Brittany Mahomes, and Olivia Culpo. These personalities have appeared for the games wearing their customized jackets, and fans went gaga over the collection.

Her designs and name received more attention when American singer-songwriter Taylor Swift appeared in a custom jersey puffer coat. She wore it at a Kansas City Chiefs Wildcard playoff game, featuring the name and number of Travis Kelce. The trend went viral among Swift’s fans in no time. With the help of Swift’s followers, Kristin became an overnight sensation, and her Instagram followers increased by 256%.

Her husband, Kyle Juszczyk, has been a massive support for her. Since the beginning, he has been proud of what she is doing. He said watching her gain that recognition after years of hard work and grinding is a joy. With Kristin landing a huge deal with the NFL, fans are ready to witness the magic she brings to the table once again.

Simone Biles‘s name has long been associated with quality and commitment in the gymnastics community. The world watched her grow—from her junior years on the mats—to an incredible 37 Worlds and Olympic medals making her the most decorated gymnast in the world last year. In addition, the 52,000-square-foot building called World Champions Centre owned by the Biles family goes on to show her lifetime commitment to the sport.

Now, Biles is not alone in imparting her knowledge as she conducts the seventh annual “Biles International Invitational,” a meet and greet that has grown to draw thousands of attendees. Straight from the venue today, many spotted Biles’ husband and NFL safety, Jonathan Owens volunteering for the invitational. Leaving about Owens getting involved in gymnastics.

This year’s Biles Invitational has received an incredible amount of support, with thousands of people turning up to participate. The three-day event began on February 1 and ends tomorrow at the George R. Brown Convention Center in Houston, Texas. Amidst the chaos, the World Champions Center’s Instagram story shared an unexpected yet touching scene where Owens was seen assiduously helping gymnasts with their applications while sitting on a bench.

The video of the Green Bay Packers player being a part of his wife’s big event only got caught in the initial moment of a 180-degree panorama of the busy area where his braided hair and tattoos stood out in tee. Owens fit in perfectly, playing the volunteer part.

“Cheers to offseason,” Biles shared on Instagram a week after the Packers lost their quest for the Super Bowl title in the playoff against the 49ers. Owens has played six seasons in the league although he joined the Packers on April 2023

The time off called for a break and what better to make up for all the shared gymnastics moments during Biles’s victorious comeback last year? Hence, joining the Biles Invitational was an obvious choice.

The atmosphere is electric with anticipation as over 3,500 competitors are expected to participate throughout the three-day event, which began with the Elite Compulsory Qualifier. Competitors competed in different final rounds in five different gym locations. Young athletes may meet and converse with a panel that includes Simone Biles and five members of the USA national team. In addition, the event offered gymnasts to see Biles’s skills up close and included extra benefits like meet & greets with other gymnasts and signature sessions.

Biles, who was competing after two-year break to focus on her mental health, made history on Friday when she won individual all-around title to break the record for most World Championship medals won; Jake Jarman gave Britain its first medal by taking gold in the vault

Simone Biles claimed two more gold medals at the World Championships on Sunday to further improve her position as the most decorated gymnast in history.

The American star won the women’s balance beam and floor finals in a dominant fashion on the final day of the competition in Antwerp.

Biles, who was competing after a two-year break to focus on her mental health, made history on Friday when she won the individual all-around title to break the record for most World Championship medals won.

She has now extended that record to 30 medals with Sunday’s performances taking her tally of golds to 23 in addition to a silver medal on the vault.

Biles started the afternoon with a superb beam routine. She had no hesitation on her jumps and delivered controlled spins before dismounting in style, with just a small hop when landing.

She earned a score of 14.800 points to win ahead of China’s Zhou Yaqin by a margin of just 0.1 of a point. Rebeca Andrade of Brazil took the bronze medal.

Biles later took to the mat for her last appearance of a busy week in the floor final. She had posted the highest score in qualifying and impressed again with a series of spectacular tumbling passes.

Even though she stepped out of bounds midway through her highly difficult routine, Biles earned the day’s best score, 14.633 points. It was Biles’ sixth world floor championship, a discipline where she remains undefeated.

Andrade, another star of the sport, took the silver medal ahead of her Brazil team-mate Flavia Saraiva.

Antwerp was the city where Biles started her collection of 23 world titles 10 years ago as a 16-year-old and she has now won a record 37 medals at the world championships and Olympics combined.

Great Britain’s Jarman takes vault gold

In the men’s competition, Jake Jarman gave Britain its first medal by taking gold in the vault with a combined score of 15.050 points.

Jarman started with a nearly flawless vault and was pumped after he landed a Dragulescu on his second effort, giving a big hug to his coach and raising his arms in triumph.

His total allowed him to leapfrog American Khoi Young by a margin of 0.201.

“I’m not the next Usain Bolt or Michael Phelps – I’m the first Simone Biles,” these are the first words one would remember when you hear the name Simone Biles. These famous words were quoted by Biles at the 2016 Rio Olympic Games. From then on, the Olympic gymnast has been on a remarkable journey in her career. 

Starting her love for gymnastics at a young age to now being known as one of the GOATs of the sport, she has come a long way. The most decorated gymnast has 37 medals under her name, which include 7 Olympic medals and 30 World Championship medals.

However, her journey has not been an easy one. And, winning all of this and who she is now is the only cause of her sheer dedication, perseverance, and love for the game. What was Simone Biles’ journey in gymnastics like, and how did she become the GOAT of the game?

The Journey of Simone Biles

Since childhood, Biles was an active child who loved running and jumping. At the age of six, she was taken to a gym on a field trip. This is where it all began for the prodigy. When she was seen imitating the performance of older girls, the coaches were in awe of her. They suggested that Biles took regular gymnastics classes.

She began her training program at Bannon’s Gymnastix in Houston with Coach Aimee Boorman. From being “just a brave child”, to conquering the world, this gymnastics athlete is now a champion. Years later, at the age of 16, Biles has numerous medals under her name. In 2013 she won two World Championship golds, including the all-around title. She never stopped there but instead followed it with four world golds in 2014 and 2015.

2016 Rio Olympics

It was in 2016 when Biles got her opportunity to perform at the Rio 2016 Olympics. Before the Olympic games, in the same year, she won an all-around victory at the Pacific Rim Championships with the highest scores on vault, floor, and balance beam. Later, she won the vault and floor exercise, winning the all-around title at the 2016 USA Gymnastics National Championships.

On August 9, 2016, Biles led her team to victory in the team event. Even though it was clear that Team USA was the favorite, Biles concluded by adding the finishing moves to securing their gold medal. At the Olympics, Biles wasn’t known just as an athlete. She was a dazzling display of athleticism and power that captured the world of imagination. 

Biles cemented her name as the ‘queen of the Olympic arena’ by winning the individual all-around title on August, 11th. She secured a total score of 62.198 by topping the charts in the vault, balance beam, and floor events. Biles put on a magnificent performance at the 2016 Olympics, and no one could take their eyes off her. She also won her second individual gold medal in the vault. 

Biles received a bronze medal on the balance beam in the all-around competition despite finishing first due to an unexpected error. In the final of the floor exercise, she won another gold medal, taking home four gold medals that year. America’s sweetheart, Simone Biles, finished on a high at the 2016 Rio Olympics by tying numerous world records and set a new American record for most gold medals in gymnastics at a single Olympics Games. 

The most decorated gymnast for her outstanding performance was chosen by her teammates to carry her country’s flag in the closing ceremonies. Those who witnessed Biles perform, could not believe their eyes. It felt as though she was defying gravity through her flawless moves. 

Simone Biles defies gravity 

When Biles performs, it’s as if gravity bends to her will, allowing her to defy the laws of physics momentarily. The reason why she is known as the greatest of all time is the cause of her gravity-defying feats on the gymnastics floor. The moves named after her, Biles and the Biles II, are indications of sheer artistry and phenomenal skill. Biles has enchanted her fans with her style, and skill she holds. 

Comeback after a hiatus from the 2016 Olympics

Simone gave another stellar performance and won a whopping 4 gold medals for USA Gymnastics National Championships the next month. She was the first American to bag medals for all 5 events in the World Gymnastics Championships in 2018, all while fighting kidney stones.

Biles created history by dominating floor, vault, and beam events by winning 5 gold medals in the World Championships in Stuttgart. This earned her total achievement portfolio with 25 medals across 5 key competitions, making her the most revered gymnast of all time.

Tokyo Olympics 2021

This made her Olympic stint at Tokyo in 2020 as a performance worth the wait. Owing to COVID restrictions, she couldn’t participate in public competitions for a year. In 2021, she got public acclaim for her impossible feat of the Yurchenko double pike and won first in this game. At the 2020 Tokyo Summer Olympics, she made the notorious decision to withdraw from the competition owing to her mental health.

Everyone lauded her for prioritizing her mental health during a time when sports arenas and players come under public scanner and battle criticism. She made an equally dramatic comeback, earning a bronze medal in balance beam.

Simone Biles’ much-awaited gymnastics comeback

After a long break, due to the twisties, Biles shared her interest in a comeback during 2023. Her name was announced along with others for the US Classic- a qualifying championship event. Having regained her composure and adversities, she made a victorious return in August 2023. She reclaimed her international stature and undeniable prowess in the sport. 

She also pulled off the Yurchenko double pike, a move she hadn’t performed since the last Olympics. More grounded and in balance, she got her 8th all-around title. This achievement made her the only American to break the 90-year record of winning eight national all-around titles. The star grabbed four World Championship gold medals at the World Artistic Gymnastics Championships in Antwerp, Belgium. 

These achievements have conferred her the position of one of the influential figures in the sports industry and the most revered gymnast. Her fans are now contemplating and see this as her possible contention to perform at the 2024 Paris Olympics. However, nothing is surety whether Simone Biles will participate in the 2024 Paris Olympics as an athlete or audience. 

Gymnastics has long witnessed the progress of Simone Biles from a junior star to a historic Olympian. Since her terrific debut at the World Championships in 2013, it’s mostly been an upward journey for her. After the Tokyo Olympics, however, Biles took an indefinite break, citing mental health issues.

During her hiatus, the star focused on everything that her personal life demanded from her. This included spending quality time with her family, welcoming her niece, building a house from scratch, and marrying her longtime partner, NFL icon Jonathan Owens. And while she continued her partnership with the apparel company GK Elite, fans longed to see her in action on stage.

After two years of staying away from the stage, however, a surprise announcement caught fans’ attention. Biles made her historic comeback at the place that started it all. The World Championships 2023 in Antwerp witnessed the Olympian work her magic on the bars and beams.

Mesmerized by how the spark never diminished, the world has been rooting for Biles ever since. The champion bagged four golds at the event, bringing her total world championship medal count to 30. But the event was special for many reasons.

This win also marked the moment she was crowned as the most decorated gymnast across the globe. An achievement that not many athletes could boast of. But the victory raised the question: would she compete in the upcoming Paris Olympics?

The Tokyo Olympics saw an unfortunate turn of events when Biles pulled away from the competition. Owing to Twisties, a condition where gymnasts lose their mind-body coordination mid-air, Biles believed that the decision was in the best interest of her physical well-being.

That’s why the Paris Olympics could prove to be special. Fans hope for redemption while the gymnast tries to keep her head cool about the increasing questions. She previously expressed interest in attending as an audience, but since her comeback, expectations have skyrocketed.

Will fans see Simone Biles on the vault at the Paris Olympics?

Unlike fans, who have been hoping for a positive response, Biles decided to go with the flow for the upcoming Olympics. She has been rehearsing at her gym under constant mentorship from her longtime coach, Cecile Landi. Surprisingly, Landi was the one who coaxed her to return to the stage. In an interview with Vanity Fair, she finally expressed her desire to return with a catch.

In a separate interview on Peacock TV, she even added that joining the Olympic gymnast team wasn’t her decision to make. The committee will announce the decision when the time comes. Meanwhile, she maintained that she wouldn’t have any regrets about whether or not she made it to the team. There are speculations that she might be on the official roster, but until the claims are confirmed, Biles continues to explore her love for gymnastics in various ways.
