Gymnastics star Simone Biles' husband Jonathan Owens recently carried her on his back as he joined her at the Gold Over America Tour. Biles embarked on the tour following her success at this year's Paris Olympics.
At this year's Olympic Games in August, Biles made history by winning three gold medals and a silver. She triumphed in the team all-around, individual all-around, and vault events, while earning a silver in the floor exercise apparatus. With this, she surpassed her fellow countrywoman Shannon Miller, with whom she was previously tied at seven medals, to become the most decorated American Olympic gymnast.
Following her Paris Olympics exploits, Biles embarked on the Gold Over America Tour, a one of its kind gymnastics experience spanning 30 different cities across the United States. During the tour, the 27-year-old is being accompanied by her fellow gymnasts, including Jordan Chiles, Jade Carey, and Hezly Rivera, among others.
After visiting 20 cities, the tour is nearing its conclusion, with four more cities to be covered this week. For this week's events, Simone Biles has been joined by her husband, Jonathan Owens, a safety for the Chicago Bears. A video of their reunion was shared by Biles on her Instagram story, where Owens could be seen carrying Biles on her back.
"Guest star on tour this week," Biles wrote.
Reposting the video, Owens expressed:
"Carrying her wherever she needs to go."
Here is a sneak peek of their video.
"She'd be like, 'babe you're slow today'" - How Simone Biles' analysis of his game transformed Jonathan Owens' performance
During a January episode of The Pivot Podcast, Owens mentioned that Simone Biles' insightful critique of his game turned things around for him and helped him realize that he was experiencing "paralysis by analysis."
"We get that break before the camp and you get that weekend, and I am watching film and I said, 'babe look at this' and she's like, 'you look a little slow right there,' and I'm like, 'girl what are you talking about,' and she's like, 'you just look like you're thinking too much,'" Owens said.
He added:
"I went to the sports site guy with the Packers and he told me it was called paralysis by analysis, where you're trying to be so aware of what's going on that you freeze yourself, and that happened to me. There would be times where she'd leave the game and be like, 'babe you're slow today.' It made me work on myself... That was the big moment in my career where I feel like the trajectory in my career changed." [38:12 onwards]
In the ongoing NFL season, Owens has had the support of Simone Biles, who has been seen cheering on from the stands.
