Earlier this month, Biles told PEOPLE that she is “most excited for fans to see the best of both worlds” on the tour, given that it includes “men’s and women’s gymnastics in the same arena, at the exact same time, sharing the same floor. ”
The 11-time Olympic medalist also showed support for her husband during his final NFL season. On September 8, she shared her candid reaction to Owens’ first touchdown since joining the Chicago Bears, which happened during his team’s game against the Tennessee Titans.
