Simone Biles is set to miss the Paris 2024 Opening Ceremony, but don’t worry—she's been cooking up a new gymnastics feat that could shake the world!

Simone Biles, the four-time Olympic gold medalist and widely considered the greatest gymnast of all time, is making headlines yet again! This time, it's for her decision to skip the Opening Ceremony of the 2024 Paris Olympics. While fans may miss seeing her at the grand opening, Biles has a good reason—she's gearing up to participate in at least three individual events. This gives her a golden opportunity, pun intended, to nearly double her gold medal count! Let's just say, she’s all about business this time around.

But that’s not all! Biles is set to perform a brand-new skill on the uneven bars, something no gymnast has ever done before. If she pulls it off, this move will not only wow the world but will also be named after her, joining the illustrious list of 'Biles' skills in gymnastics' Code of Points. Imagine having so many groundbreaking moves that they need a whole chapter with your name on it! Talk about leaving a legacy.

Missing the Opening Ceremony might sound like a downer, but Biles has her eyes on much bigger prizes. Close pals and her mom suggest she is devoting every ounce of her time and energy to fine-tuning her routines. After all, a new skill on the uneven bars is no joke. The sheer focus and dedication it requires tell us that she’s not just participating—she’s here to dominate. Meanwhile, it appears she’s creating waves even before she sets foot in Paris' Bercy Arena. She’s got the sports world buzzing with excitement and anticipation.

Intriguingly, Simone's skipping the big night might also give her a tiny edge—no long hours standing on her feet when she could be resting and mentally prepping for her upcoming events. It’s a strategic move that could very well pay off. As for her new skill? The gymnastics world is on pins and needles to see it.

Beyond her gymnastics prowess, Simone Biles is finally building her dream home in Houston with her NFL-star husband, Jonathan Owens. While becoming the greatest of all time on uneven bars, she’s also mastering the art of home-building. A little hard work never hurts when you’re aiming for perfection on all fronts!

Did you know? Simone Biles is the only active gymnast to have an eponymous skill on all four gymnastic events. Also, she has a combined total of 30 Olympic and World Championship medals. Talk about being a legend in your own time! This gymnastics star continues to defy the odds and break boundaries, proving that she truly is unstoppable.
