Jason Kelce and his wife Kylie were among the enthusiastic supporters cheering for Simone Biles as she made history once again on Tuesday night. Biles, already the most decorated gymnast of all time, clinched her fifth Olympic gold medal in the women’s team final in Paris.
At 27, Biles drew a star-studded crowd to the final in France, with notable personalities such as Bill Gates, Spike Lee, and Serena Williams spotted in the stands. Among the cheering fans were former Eagles center Jason Kelce and his wife, Kylie, showing their support for Team USA, which included Biles, Jordan Chiles, Suni Lee, and Jade Carey.
The American team dominated the competition, achieving an exceptional score of 171.296, with Biles leading the charge. This victory marked Biles’ first Olympic gold since Rio 2016, further cementing her legacy as the most decorated American gymnast in Olympic history, surpassing Shannon Miller with her eighth medal.
Jason Kelce, who retired earlier this year after a Hall of Fame NFL career, has been thoroughly enjoying the Olympic Games. He was seen interacting with various athletes, including the USA women’s rugby sevens team, whose tournament commenced with matches against Japan and Brazil.
Kelce even engaged in a friendly arm-wrestling match with rugby player Nicole Heavirland of Whitefish, Montana. Despite controversially holding onto the table, he emerged victorious. When challenged about his technique, Kelce responded humorously on Instagram, stating, “Holding onto something with your off hand is completely within the rules of the International Federation of Arm Wrestling.”
Biles’ performance not only captivated the audience but also inspired fellow athletes. Jonathan Owens, a professional football player and Biles’ fiancé, expressed his admiration, saying, “Simone’s dedication and excellence are beyond inspirational. Watching her compete and succeed at this level is an honor.”
Biles celebrated with her teammates after the United States’ victory was confirmed, sharing a moment of joy and triumph. Her achievements continue to inspire athletes and fans around the world, proving that hard work, dedication, and passion can lead to extraordinary success.
As the Olympic Games proceed, the support from fans like Jason Kelce and Jonathan Owens highlights the unity and spirit of sportsmanship that define these historic events. Simone Biles’ journey remains a testament to perseverance and greatness, inspiring future generations of athletes to pursue their dreams with unwavering determination.
