Simone Biles puts gymnastics on hold, hits the water in a micro bikini, and her fans are already imagining her winning another Olympic gold
The Olympic champion set gymnastics aside for a moment during her vacation, and an activity in the water got her followers imagining her in another sport.
S imone Biles first surprised on Instagram with some images in which she showed off her days of rest by the sea. The Olympic champion appeared in a micro bikini enjoying the Dominican Republic, far from the gyms and the pressure of competition.
But it was her appearance in the water that ended up sparking an unexpected conversation among her followers. What for Biles seems to be simply an activity during her vacation was, for some fans, enough to imagine her starring in a new sporting adventure.
Simone Biles swaps the gym for the water
The getaway comes days before the start of a new American football season, in which her husband, Jonathan Owens, will begin a new chapter with the Indianapolis Colts after his time with the Chicago Bears.
Meanwhile, Biles took the opportunity to unplug and enjoy a few days by the sea. In one of the images from her visit to the Dominican Republic, the gymnast appears in a micro-bikini while enjoying a day in the water.
The image was very different from the usual ones of Biles on the bars, the beam or the floor. However, her followers noticed one detail: the ease with which the athlete seemed to handle herself in a completely different activity. The queen of gymnastics once again showed why she is considered the best in the world with a backflip from a yacht.
The post also left a question among her followers: could Simone Biles succeed in another discipline?
Fans have already found another sport for her
For now, the reality is much simpler. Biles has not announced any change of discipline nor has she confirmed that she is preparing to compete in a water sport..
Fans' comments appeared quickly. One of the most striking went straight to the point: “Next up, Olympic Gold for diving” , a phrase with which one fan was already imagining the American competing for an Olympic gold in diving.
The idea is not hard to understand. Biles is one of the most successful athletes in Olympic history, and her extraordinary body control, coordination, and power are precisely some of the traits that turned her into a gymnastics legend.
That said, for now it all remains in the realm of her followers' imagination. The American is simply enjoying her vacation and trying a different activity , with no confirmation whatsoever that she wants to trade gymnastics for diving.
And while Biles enjoys a few days of freedom away from competition, her fans have already found her a new impossible challenge: to see her dive into the water and climb back to the top of an Olympic podium.
