NFL Player Jonathan Owens Reacts to His Girlfriend Simone Biles Landing Historic Vault

Defending world champion gymnast Simone Biles became the first woman to land the Yurchenko double pike vault move in competition at the GK US Classic in Indianapolis over the weekend.

Simone Biles fans weren’t the only one to get excited about the history landing. Biles boyfriend, NFL player Jonathan Owens, took to Instagram to show his appreciation for the incredible feat.

Via NY Post:

“Owens, a 25-year-old safety for the Houston Texans, gave an Instagram shout-out to Biles, who competed at the US Classic in Indianapolis over the weekend, her first meet since October 2019.

“No comparison,” Owens posted to his Instagram Story alongside a photo of Biles, who rocked a rhinestone goat — representing the greatest of all time — on her leotard.”

Speaking about the historic vault, she said:

“I was just thinking, ‘Do it like training. Don’t try to like overdo anything,’ because I have a tendency, as soon as I raise my hand, to overpower things … I did a little bit, but I was still on my feet. It’s a new vault and I’m proud of how today went.”

Everyone throws around the Term GOAT, but Simone Biles is one person who actually deserves the moniker.

What a move.
