Simone Biles revealed that her in-progress home isn’t going exactly as expected.

On Wednesday, Nov. 29, Biles shared an update about how the build is going, as she and her husband, Jonathan Owens, are constructing a house for themselves in Texas.

In a series of Instagram Stories, the Olympic gold medalist brought fans along on the “trim walk” through the home. Unfortunately, they found some issues, with Biles writing in text over the clip, “Yesterday I was here from 11am-5pm…..🥴 I thought it was going to be a 30 minute thing bc I had no clue what I was walking into.”

In the next image, Biles explained how “confused” she was about the situation, before adding, “Called my dad for backup yesterday bc I panicked! but I’ve made so much progress & I’m so proud of myself. jonathan will deal with the end result oops……..I hope I did it decently & thought of all the things.”

“I CANNOT DEAL ANYMORE🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬,” the 26-year-old concluded while posting the next photo, showing what appeared to be bathroom tiles with yellow stains on the edges.

It’s unclear exactly what the issue was and whether or not it got solved, as Biles’ next Stories update was a look at her many different competition medals.

Previously, on Thursday, Nov. 16, Biles shared a more positive update about the house’s progress, with the Olympian posing inside the home with a big smile on her face. She then posted a few more photos of the house, including a look out the back glass doors at what is either a pond or lake.

Fans love seeing the step-by-step process as the newlyweds create their home together, with many commenting encouraging messages on social media.

“This going to be a beautiful home already. Looks so spacious and going to be fabulous I know. ❤️,” wrote one fan under the Nov. 16 update, as another proclaimed, “I need a whole HGTV show for this! 😍.”

Biles and Owens, who is a safety for the Green Bay Packers, tied the knot on April 22, 2023, at a courthouse in Houston Texas. The next month, they jetted off to Cabo, Mexico for a beautiful wedding ceremony.

Simone Biles Partners With Athleta For New Holiday Collection

On Thursday (Nov. 30), Athleta announced their new partnership with the most decorated gymnast of all time for their holiday collection, dubbed “No Time Like The Present.” The size-inclusive line consists of a variety of athleisure pieces that can be mixed and matched, including comfy leggings, trendy crop tops, bras, and the brand’s Salutation bodysuit that is perfect for all body types.

Biles –who is vying for a spot to compete in the 2024 games– joins the campaign alongside fellow Olympian Allyson Felix and WNBA star Monique Billings

This has been a year to remember for the phenom.

In April, she tied the knot with her beau Jonathan Owens after dating for three years. These newlyweds are showing no signs of slowing down.

Earlier this month, Biles gave fans on Instagram an update on the construction of their dream home in Texas, which has been in the works since November 2022.

In her post, Biles added a photo of her hubby standing in an area of their home surrounded by windows, drywall, and unfinished concrete flooring, along with what appears to be an entrance door.

The Green Bay Packers player reposted the same image to his Instagram Story, adding the caption, “Seeing the vision!!”

Back in September, the Olympic medalist shared development updates about their property with PEOPLE. Photos included Biles walking through a wooden framework of the home and a sweet snap of the duo hand-in-hand while standing on sandy ground.

Earlier this month, the newlyweds had an outdoor photoshoot capturing the essence of the fall season. In one of the frames, the husband and wife lay on a bed of yellow leaves as their heads face each other.

Bitter Rival Warns Anthony Joshua He Has ‘Made A Mistake’ Picking Otto Wallin

Re-emerging heavyweight contender Jarrell Miller has said that Anthony Joshua may have made a grave mistake by selecting Otto Wallin as his December opponent.

Joshua is continuing his comeback to the peak of the heavyweight division, bouncing back from successive defeats to Oleksandr Usyk with wins over Jermaine Franklin and Robert Helenius in his two 2023 outings.

The two-time unified champion will be operating with a fourth different cornerman in five fights following the appointment of Ben Davison, who guided Tyson Fury to a gruelling points victory over Wallin back in 2019. It’s understood he plans to return to Derrick James thereafter.

There are plenty who believe that the tricky Swede could be a real banana peel for Joshua, escpacially following on from his impressive win over Murat Gassiev.

One of those sceptics is fierce rival, ‘Big Baby’ Miller, who told Seconds Out that ‘AJ’ is in for a tough night at the office.

Miller takes on Daniel Dubois on that same card, which takes place in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia on December 23.

Joshua’ll fight Wilder first in 2024 – Hearn

Eddie Hearn, believes that the Biritish-Nigerian will have his first bout of 2024 against Deontay Wilder as long as they both win their respective fights on December 23.

Joshua will headline against Otto Wallin two days before Christmas in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia and Wilder will take on Joseph Parker on the same card. Should both Joshua and Wilder win their respective fights, it would set up one of the most exciting heavyweight matchups in the sport.

Head of Matchroom Sport, Hearn, had previously suggested that his client could explore a potential vacant IBF title shot against top-rated Filip Hrgovic of Croatia.

The IBF belt is currently held by unified champion Oleksandr Usyk, who also holds the WBO and WBA belts and the Ukrainian will put his three belts on the line against WBC champion Tyson Fury on February 17 in Riyadh.

Hearn believes that if an undisputed champion is crowned in the fight, the belts are likely to be seperated again because of the mandatory demands of the sanctioning bodies, especially that of the IBF.

In that scenario, Joshua facing off against Hrgovic for the IBF title could be appealing as it would afford the 34-year-old the chance to become a three-time heavyweight champion.

However, now Hearn feels that there would be too much momentum for Joshua vs Wilder in that time frame to consider any other options.

“It’s very likely that after Fury vs Usyk 1, the belts will fragment, particularly the IBF. If that fragments and Joshua beats Wallin on Dec. 23rd, it would be Hrgovic against Joshua. But by then it’s very likely that Joshua vs Wilder could be contracted and probably will be contracted,” Hearn told Boxing Social.

“We won’t be able to U-turn at that point. We’re full steam ahead trying to make the Wilder fight. WBC final eliminator? If that’s what it’s called. I would just call it the biggest fight in boxing at that point. When that fight happens and the only way that fight happens is if they both win on December 23rd on the same card. And if they do win on the same card, on the same night, that fight is the biggest fight in boxing.”

LAS VEGAS, NV – November 27, 2023 – (Motor Sports NewsWire) – Projected to be “the biggest event in the world in 2023” by its organizers, last weekend’s Formula One race was the perfect home for the spectacle that was the Official Auction of the Las Vegas Grand Prix. Bidders were treated to an awe-inspiring theatrical presentation at Wynn Las Vegas’ Awakening Theater, a true “one-of-a-kind” auction which saw $59,704,685 in total sales, with an 87% sell-through rate.

In collaboration with Wynn Las Vegas, the RM Sotheby’s team worked tirelessly to create something truly extraordinary for the race week in Las Vegas, a challenging feat amidst a plethora of high-quality events. Our efforts culminated in a remarkable auction at the Awakening Theater, showcasing exceptional offerings, including Sir Lewis Hamilton’s first race-winning Mercedes F1 car.

Highlights

After making an appearance in The Netflix Cup earlier in the week, the fan favorite 2013 Mercedes-AMG Petronas F1 W04—the first Mercedes-AMG Petronas team car driven to victory by Formula One champion Sir Lewis Hamilton and the only car to be sold outside of the Mercedes organization—realized an outstanding $18,815,000. After a hotly contested bidding war, this seminal piece in the story of the winningest Formula One driver of all time now stands as the most valuable Formula One car of the modern era ever sold.

Another highly anticipated lot was the 2002 Mercedes-Benz CLK GTR Roadster, the breathtaking open-top variant of the homologation special responsible for Stuttgart’s dominant back-to-back late-1990s FIA GT Championships. The third of only six examples built and displaying extremely low mileage, chassis 000034 saw an impressive $10,235,000.

And lastly, making its auction debut, Tom Brady’s Game-Worn and Signed Tampa Bay Buccaneers Jersey from his final game in the NFL took center stage, achieving $1.4 million—setting a new record for any football jersey at auction. Donning this white home jersey during the NFC Wildcard Playoff game against the Dallas Cowboys, Tom Brady would end a legendary and prolific 23-season career in the NFL.

Zhilei Zhang says his punches would be a ‘disaster’ for Tyson Fury after watching him struggle against Francis Ngannou

Zhilei Zhang believes that Tyson Fury would not be able to cope with his power.

Throughout his career, Fury has found himself down on the canvas, but has always managed to get up.

First against Neven Pajkic, then against Steve Cunningham, he was dropped four times across three fights by Deontay Wilder and most recently ‘The Gypsy King’ was floored by former UFC heavyweight champion and boxing debutante Francis Ngannou.

With that being said, Fury is still undefeated, but Zhang is confident that against him, the Brit would not hear the final bell.

After watching Fury’s fight against Ngannou, Zhang told the Town Bizznizz sports and ent YouTube channel: “I think Tyson Fury probably never trained for the Ngannou fight. It was not the Fury we know, it was a totally different person.

“If you look at his career, he’s got hit, he’s got dropped, and my punches are not a joke.

“When my punches land, it’s going to be a disaster for him.”

This comes as following his duo of knockout victories over Joe Joyce earlier this year, Zhang now wants to take on the big names in the heavyweight division, including Fury.

“I always wanted to get the big four names,” Zhang continued. “Fury, Oleksandr Usyk, Anthony Joshua and Deontay Wilder but they don’t want to fight me. They are running away from me.”

Unfortunately for Zhang, it may not be a case of the other heavyweights running from him, rather there is just a long list of potential opponents and they are all otherwise occupied.

Joshua’s next fight will come against Otto Wallin, while Wilder will take on Joseph Parker on the same card on December 23 in Saudi Arabia, with a view that should they emerge victorious, both AJ and ‘The Bronze Bomber’ will clash next year.

Meanwhile, Fury and Usyk are due to battle it out for the undisputed heavyweight world titles on February 17.

And then the obvious next step would be for the winner of that fight to go head-to-head with the winner of a potential Joshua vs Wilder clash.

Although, boxing is notoriously unpredictable, so Zhang will be hoping that somewhere along the line one of these bouts doesn’t go to plan and he can secure a dream fight.

“I don’t feel like it’s the end all be all anymore, as before I kind of felt like that,” she explained. “I get to go home to my husband, to my dogs, to my house and all of the things. So it feels really good.”

What Is Charlie Woods’ Lowest Score And Current Scoring Average?

Charlie Woods’ fledgling career is showing plenty of promise, but do the stats back up the hype?

During a period of Tiger Woods’ career where his injury problems have been particularly prevalent, nowadays, he’s as likely to be spotted on the course supporting his 14-year-old son Charlie’s burgeoning career as concentrating on his own game.

There are plenty of encouraging signs that the 47-year-old’s guidance is rubbing off on the youngster, too.

Evidence of that could be found as long ago as 2021, when Charlie was just 12-years-old. During that year’s PNC Championship, the father and son duo teamed up and eventually finished runner-up at the Florida tournament thanks in part to a run of 11 straight birdies during their final round.

If that made the golf world take notice of Charlie’s ability, anticipation that he could follow in his father’s footsteps with a professional career increased during 2022 with more impressive form, including a best-ever round of 68 at the Notah Begay III Junior National Golf Championship with Tiger caddying.

However, while that display, which helped him to a T4 at the tournament, was noteworthy, there was even more to come in 2023, including in September, when he beat his previous lowest score with a six-under 66 on his way to victory in the 14-15 age division of the Last Chance Regional.

That remains Charlie’s lowest score so far, and he has an impressive scoring average too. Woods competes on the Boys 13-18 Medalist Tour where he played a total of nine rounds over four events in 2022, and recorded a scoring average of 77.67.

In 2023, he has been even better. After 15 rounds from seven events, Woods’ current scoring average is 76.67, leaving him ranked 71st – impressive considering Woods is on the younger end of the players eligible for the tour.

A slightly deeper dive into Charlie’s scoring average also reveals he has particularly excelled on par 5 holes, which is perhaps not entirely surprising given Tiger has admitted he has outdriven him. On par 5s, Charlie is 34th in the standings, with an average of 4.8 compared to an average of 4.4 on par 4 holes, leaving him 111th, and 3.37 on par 3s, which sees him at 132nd in the rankings.

Overall, Woods is currently 57th in the Player of the Year standings from a list of 282 players – a big leap from his T183 a year earlier.

With those encouraging averages and a new career low score in recent months, there’s little wonder there is plenty of buzz around Charlie, and not just because of his world-famous dad. While it’s still early days, it’s becoming increasingly clear that Charlie’s stats are beginning to match the hype.

Tiger Woods and Charlie Woods Find a New Threat After a Hero World Challenge Pro’s Dire Attempts Go in Vain

Tiger Woods is such a legend in golf that any player who is rising up the ranks is compared to him. Recently, Swedish golfer Ludvig Aberg was compared to Woods for his success on the PGA Tour.

In 2021, American pro golfer Collin Morikawa was likened to Woods after two victories. Now, the newest talent on the horizon from China is up for the challenge. Not only that, he is here to give serious competition to the prodigy and Woods’ son, Charlie Woods as well.

Chinese golfer up against Tiger and Charlie Woods

In 2021, Collin Morikawa won the British Open and a year before, he had championed the PGA Championship. A feat he attained before turning 25, a record only Tiger Woods held. However, Morikawa’s career graph could not replicate what Woods achieved in his career.

Now, after a few years, Woods has found new competition from the land of China. Yanhan Zhou just won his seventh victory as an amateur. At the age of 14, Zhou won the Chongqing Open in 2022. He has won it again in 2023, defending his title. His victory was celebrated by a tweet shared on X.

Zhou has played eight professional events so far, out of which he has successfully been triumphant twice, as the tweet informs. Accordingly, he has acquired a 25 percent winning rate, something which, the X user claims is

missing from Tiger Woods’ career! Since 2020, Woods has not won a single event. And then, his break to recover from surgery stopped him from participating in any tour.

The tweet compared the current win rate of Tiger Woods, which is zero. Moreover, Zhou is not only defeating Woods with his achievement, he is also a competitor to Charlie Woods. Jr. Woods has still not achieved the 25 percent win rate.

Charlie couldn’t win the Notah Begay National Junior Championship. It is definitely a feat for Zhou to be a competitor to both father and son. The duo will go up against many champions in the coming weeks.

Tiger Woods to return to the PNC Championship

Tiger and Charlie Woods have confirmed playing at the PNC Championship 2023. This will be their third appearance and this time the duo will be contesting to win the trophy. After the Hero World Championship, Woods will accompany his son to play against the likes of John Daly and his son John Daly II, Vijay Singh and Qass Singh, Justin Thomas and Mike Thomas, and more on the list.

This will be the second tournament Tiger Woods will be playing after his withdrawal from the 2023 Masters and a subsequent ankle surgery. The golf world awaits to see if Sr. Woods will start the train to his victorious era once again at the age of 47.
