Redemption tour’: 4 Tokyo team members are headed to Paris Olympics
The women’s and men’s U.S. Olympic gymnastics squads were selected this weekend at the Olympic trials in Minneapolis.
“I’ll be the hype woman like I always am,” Chiles said of her approach to Paris.
Throughout these trials, Chiles rallied her teammates, running from one corner of the floor to the other to cheer them on ahead of each tumbling pass.
Who hypes the hype woman? It’s Beyoncé, hands down.
“If she’s a queen, I’m a queen,” Chiles said of her idol.
After a crowd-free Tokyo Olympics due to Covid restrictions, Biles is grateful that her husband, Jonathan Owens, will be cheering her on in Paris.
“He’ll be there, yes,” she said. “For just a short little time.”
Biles said the Chicago Bears are granting Owens, their safety, a couple of days off from training camps to support her at the Olympics.
“I think it’s super exciting that we get to be in each other’s elements and supporting each other’s dreams and goals,” Biles said. “It’s these memories that we make that we’ll never get back. So any time we can show up for one another and support, we just get super excited because our schedules don’t align that much.”
