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.

Simone Biles was spotted spending quality time with husband Jonathan Owens on Monday at Texas’ Toyota Center, watching the Houston Rockets play against Los Angeles Lakers.

The Olympic gymnast, looking stylish in a red set and black blazer, smiled and laughed with the Green Bay Packers safety. Going with the flow of the game, Biles held up a sign that stated “Score: 10.0.”

The power couple witnessed the home team beat LeBron James’ Lakers 135-119.

Biles, the most decorated American gymnast in history, met Owens for the first time in March 2020. The NFL pro, in a recent conversation on The Pivot podcast, revealed that he had never heard of Simone Biles and that they met through an app. Owens said:

But this didn’t go down well with Biles’ fans who found it offending. One such fan said that the star gymnast is a world renowned athlete with millions of fans:

Attending the Lakers vs Rockets game tonight was Simone Biles and husband, Jonathan Owens. Sitting courtside, the couple had a complete view of the happenings of the game. And what Owens saw seemed to shock him. Aside from the blowout 119-135 loss to Houston, there were a few instances that showcased that basketball can get just as aggressive as the NFL. Particularly, a few instances that involved LeBron James.

While we would imagine Dillon Brooks to headline this, surprisingly, it was a Rockets’ rookie, among others, who took the lead this time. Owens, meanwhile, took to Instagram to share his surprise and shock live.

It’s undebatable that the emotions and feel of a live game can be surpassed by anything else. And that includes feeling every punch, hit, fall, and more. Being part of a high-contact sport himself, Owens understands this better than anyone else. So, to watch the whole incident play out in front of him had the Green Bay Packers safety caption his story with, “Oh he tried to take off.” In the video, Jalen Green can be seen taking possession of the ball from the Lakers and crossing across to eventually pass to Cam Whitmore who ‘tried to take off’ but unfortunately missed the shot.

Green and Alperen Sengun led the Rockets tonight. Their explosive scoring was no match for the 39-year-old James. Both landing double-doubles, the young Rockets ensured that Bron knew that he was their prey for the night. Sengun had 31 points, 12 rebounds, and seven assists. Green led the scorers with 34 points while contributing 12 rebounds and seven assists of his own.

While they were busy directing the narrative, rookie Cam Whitmore was creating a story of his own. The 2023 No. 20 draft pick seemed to be proving a point as he took every possible chance to dunk on LeBron. Take, for instance, this almost posterizing dunk in the second quarter.

Another instance saw him dunk on the 4x champion, grab the ball and casually hand it over to him. This wasn’t a lone incident. The Rockets are known for their game plan of targeting older players. Throughout the game, this was apparent, as they availed every opportunity to showcase that they weren’t afraid of the ‘Akron Hammer’. Sengun himself got one over the veteran player in the third quarter.

While this was going on, The Villian also tried to make his presence known as he went about with his dirty tactics on the court.

The fourth quarter saw Davis sidelined with a groin injury and the team could have lost LeBron too. Trying to land a shot, Bron wasn’t ready for an arm from Brooks right behind him. Not a second went by before the entire arena saw him go down because of the impact.

Although he was assessed a flagrant 1 foul for the hit, the 4x champion believes Brooks should have been ejected on a flagrant 2. Bron refused to comment on the incident later on, but his brother-in-arms, Anthony Davis, had plenty to say. AD called the refs out for blatantly ignoring, first the Vanderbilt incident, and then the blatant hit on LeBron.

Anyway, this was the final matchup between the two teams. The Lakers will have to wait quite a bit to extract a retribution.

Kristin Juszczyk has become the talk of the town after agreeing to an official licensing deal with the NFL for her custom clothing designs. Her groundbreaking contract means that she is now authorized to blend any of the league’s team logos into her merchandise.

After securing the deal, Juszczyk received praise from several high-profile sports stars. This includes iconic American gymnast Simone Biles, who jumped on the bandwagon to congratulate her.

The seven-time Olympic gold medalist took to her Instagram story to react to a post confirming Juszczyk’s NFL collaboration. Biles wrote:

Biles, who has previously worn outfits designed by Juszczyk, also added:

Kristin, who is the wife of San Francisco 49ers fullback Kyle Juszczyk, has been grabbing headlines of late. She has styled some of the biggest names associated with the NFL in recent months, including 12-time Grammy award winner Taylor Swift.

Swift donned a customized jersey puffer coat designed by Juszczyk when she was seen at Arrowhead Stadium earlier this month to attend the Kansas City Chiefs vs Miami Dolphins wild-card game.

The outfit had her boyfriend Travis Kelce’s name and number stylishly printed on the back and front.

As per reports, Kristin has also designed customized jackets for actor Taylor Lautner, and Brittany Mahomes, wife of Kansas City Chiefs’ superstar quarterback Patrick Mahomes.

However, it’s safe to say that Kristin Juszczyk will be supporting her husband Kyle when the Chiefs lock horns 49ers at the Super Bowl on Sunday, Feb. 11.

If gymnastics had one athlete whose list of achievements went on and on, it would be Simone Biles. The star began as a prodigy in the sport and kept adding feathers to her cap after each competition. When she entered the sport at the age of 6, no one expected her to pursue it as her career, let alone become one of the GOATs.

The Olympian grew up under difficult circumstances with her biological mother suffering from addiction. However, Biles’ life took a turn when her grandparents, Nellie and Ronald, adopted her. After a field trip where she discovered her love for the sport, there was no stopping her from achieving every goal she set her eyes on.

How many medals has she gathered over the years?

She started as a first-time senior competitor in 2013 at the World Championships. She became a household name in 2016, with her Olympic debut in Rio de Janeiro. While the Tokyo Olympics in 2021 became her biggest setback, with twisties hindering her from participating further, her recent comeback after a two-year hiatus has sent the world into a frenzy.

The Olympian has won 7 Olympic medals and 30 World Championship medals altogether. This includes four gold, one silver, and two bronze Olympic medals and a whopping 23 gold, four silver, and three bronze World Championship medals.

Her recent comeback at the Antwerp World Championships got her four gold medals, not only raking up her total to 30 but also making her the most decorated athlete across the globe. She also holds the record for most World gold medals and the most Olympic medals won by an American gymnast, tied with Shannon Miller.

Simone Biles’ legacy

Something that comes with being one of the most popular gymnasts in history is having their names associated with moves. Biles now has a total of five gymnastics moves named after her – one on the balance beam, two on the floor exercise, and two on the vault. In a hilarious twist, however, she once admitted in an interview how she could only successfully perform four out of the five moves.

Currently, she’s busy juggling between rehearsing at her gym and spending quality time with her husband, friends, and family. Something that her extended break taught her was to live life and treasure close moments more than anything else. Having planned her wedding, celebrations, and vacations, she now seems ready to take the next step in her career.

With the Paris Olympics just around the corner, fans have been speculating about her return for a while. After the Tokyo Olympics, redemption might be in the books, and gymnastics enthusiasts are holding on to the hope. So far, Biles has been open about the possibility, but will she make it?

Is the Paris Olympics on the charts for Simone Biles?

After dodging the question in several interviews, the star gymnast finally admitted her true feelings about the idea. The truth was that Biles was open to attending the Paris Olympics either as an audience or a team member. However, after her official comeback on the international stage, her take has slightly shifted.

In an interview, she revealed that while she did intend to participate, the Olympic committee would make the final decision on whether or not she would make it to the team. Until then, she’s happy to be rehearsing and staying in touch with the sport that got her started on a terrific journey. Meanwhile, fans will wait with bated breath to see how the roster turns out.

Simone Biles‘ journey through gymnastics has witnessed many trials and tribulations in various forms. The GOAT has been a household favorite even before her Olympics debut in 2016 in Rio. Since then, her consistent streak of winning gold has been her USP at every competition.

However, every peak scaled up had its own story. Biles’ achievements did not come without a huge dose of setbacks that almost sparked talks of her drifting away from the sport. In 2021, the gymnast underwent issues that would compel her to take a 2-year break from the sport.

After years of preparing for the Tokyo Olympics, Biles lost control over herself. What began as her planned routine for the competition turned ugly when nerves got her in-midst of her performance. It was her warning sign, suggesting that things could go wrong quickly.

Biles later revealed that she had suffered a case of ‘twisties’ where gymnasts lose their spatial awareness mid-air. It causes serious injuries if not addressed immediately. It prompted her to pull out of the Olympics midway, something that caused waves all over the world. A hiatus from the sport and competitions followed that lasted two years. But now, she has recently made a comeback that has won the hearts of many.

The recent World Championships in Antwerp, Belgium, witnessed the GOAT stun at the bars and beam with such finesse that it seemed like she was never too far from gymnastics, even during her hiatus. And now, it’s all onwards and upwards for the star, with the Paris Olympics just around the corner.

However, will she be an active athlete at the upcoming Olympics? While Biles is hopeful, there’s still no official roster announcing her as a member of the Olympic team. But would the gymnast take things to heart if she didn’t make it? In an interview with Vanity Fair, she admitted:

While her return and redemption at the Olympics are still being speculated, Biles did post something on her official ‘X’ account that created a stir. For those hopeful for her return, the gymnastics GOAT hinted at a possibility.

2024 might prove to be eventful for Simone Biles

After dodging questions surrounding the upcoming Olympics, the star finally admitted to going with the flow on the subject. Whether or not she made it to the final day wasn’t in her hands, and she was okay with whatever decision came her way. Regardless, Biles has actively shown interest in participating, given the chance.

Recently, the official X account for the Paris Olympics put up a poster of all the popular Olympians for Paris. Biles’ photo was present amongst veterans like Katie Ledecky, Ryan Murphy, Noah Lyles, and Oksana Masters. Whether this hinted at her official return or not, fans are now hopeful that they will get to see their beloved gymnast grab the gold for the country.

“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 heard 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 too 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 gymnast 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. 

“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 heard the name Simone Biles.
