Simona Biles, who has won 11 Olympic medals, made an important statement about her future in sports. After her successful performance at the Olympic Games in Paris 2024, where she won three gold medals, Biles decided to take a break from competition. This period allows her to focus on personal life alongside her partner, Jonathan Owens, and to contemplate the possibility of starting a family.
