NASCAR legend Jimmie Johnson wishes $20M-worth gymnast legend luck ahead of Paris Olympics

Jimmie Johnson has a message for Simone Biles as the latter prepares to compete in the Paris Olympics. Biles is set to compete in the women's artistic gymnastics at the Bercy Arena in Paris.

Johnson wished Biles and the USA's women's gymnastics team good luck in a video posted by NASCAR on X (formerly Twitter). Watch the video below:

“Hi, I’m Jimmie Johnson, seven-time NASCAR Series champion. I want to wish Simone Biles the best of luck going for gold this year in the Olympics in Paris,” Johnson said.

Biles and the USA women's gymnastics team made it to the final round after they qualified as the top-qualifying team in the preliminary rounds. Given the form they are in, one can expect them to win the gold at the Games.

If the USA women's gymnastics team wins the gold at the Paris Olympics, it would be their third gold haul from the last four Olympics. They settled for silver last time out in Tokyo after Biles withdrew from the Games due to a medical issue.

Simone Biles, worth $20 million (according to Celebrity Net Worth), is one of the most accomplished and revered athletes in the United States. The gymnast is a seven-time medal winner at the Summer Olympics, a nine-time all-around champion at the USA Gymnastics National Championships, and a six-time all-around champion at the Artistic Gymnastics World Championships.

Biles has won 30 World titles overall, the most by a single athlete in gymnastics. She was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2022, the highest civilian honor in the country.
