Simone Biles Dominates 2024 Olympics Before Safari Romance
Simone Biles continues rewriting gymnastics history while crafting a fairytale personal life. The 27-year-old superstar recently claimed two gold medals at the Paris 2024 Olympics before embarking on a belated South African honeymoon with NFL husband Jonathan Owens that’s making global headlines.
Olympic Redemption Arc
Biles became the first American gymnast to compete in three Olympics, leading Team USA’s “Golden Girls” to victory in July 2024. She claimed individual golds in:
- All-around competition (her third career Olympic gold)
- Vault (tying her own world record)
- Team final (securing back-to-back team titles)
The seven-time Olympic medalist now shares second place for most decorated female Olympian in gymnastics history. Her 2024 performance silenced critics after her mental health-focused withdrawal from Tokyo 2020 events, proving she remains unbeatable when competing at full capacity.
Safari Style and Social Impact
Fresh from Olympic glory, Biles jetted to South Africa with Owens for their long-awaited honeymoon. Instagram posts show:
- Lion-spotting safari adventures
- Poolside moments in leopard-print bikinis
- Romantic jungle picnics
The couple combined luxury with philanthropy, visiting a local daycare center supporting 87 children. “Obert started this himself from the ground up,” Biles shared on social media, highlighting their donation of nutritional bars and handmade blankets.
Legacy Beyond the Mat
With 41 combined World/Olympic medals, Biles continues expanding her impact:
Milestone | Achievement |
---|---|
Technical Innovation | 5 eponymous gymnastics skills |
Cultural Influence | 2022 Presidential Medal of Freedom recipient |
Business Ventures | New leotard line launching March 2025 |
As training begins for potential 2028 Olympic appearances, Biles proves elite athletics and personal fulfillment can coexist. Her latest Instagram caption sums it up: “Chasing gold medals AND sunsets 🌍💍” – though fans note she’s already caught both.
