Simone Biles has accomplished nearly everything in her beloved arena of gymnastics. The 4’8’’ gymnast has four Olympic gold medals, a record seven US Gymnastics Championships all-around titles, and more World Championships framed than any other athlete in the history of the sport. However, time and again, she has proven that gymnastics isn’t the only field where she can flaunt her incredible prowess. Competing against NFL players is one more thing she is good at.
While Simone Biles and Jonathan Owens enjoy their little hiatus in Door County, the couple has left no stone unturned to make the best of their trip. First, the yacht party, and now, an impromptu cross-sports competition, in which the gymnast competed against the NFL wide receiver, Christian Watson.

Taking to his Instagram story, the NFL safety pulled off the curtains from the racing competition between his wife and his fellow teammate, Christian Watson. In the video, Biles and Watson can be seen gearing up for the race from the starting point. As luck would have it, immediately after the race starts, the 6’5’’ NFL prodigy trips and almost falls in the first 10 m, giving Biles a head start.
However, the football wide receiver catches up with the Olympian and trounces the gymnast in the race. Following this, adoring husband Jonathan Owens stated, “Aye why she get out the first 10 like that”.
