In a recent episode of The Late Late Show with James Corden, celebrated gymnast Simone Biles reveals her plans for her wedding. In discussion with Corden, she was taken aback upon receiving a rather strange suggestion from the host. Biles is a renowned artistic gymnast. She won four gold medals, one silver, and one bronze in the 2018 U.S national championships, bringing her career total at that competition to 20 medals, making her the most decorated female gymnast in world championships history. In 2021, at the U.S. Classic, she landed the Yurchenko double pike, which is the toughest vault in the sport with absolute perfection, also becoming the first to do so. SIMONE BILES IS ABOUT TO WALK THE AISLE The Olympic gold medalist declared her engagement to Houston Texas safety Jonathan Owens in February 2022. Discussing all of her wedding preparations, she laughed as Corden offered her a curious recommendation. “Are you gonna do any acrobatics as you walk down the aisle?” asked [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eZo-zfxkzjU&list=PLZ1f3amS4y1frUrb0cOek5Q3Yc1PvTOrT&index=5] James as a laughing Biles [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/simone-arianne-biles/] replied, “Oh no, no, no!”.

ARTISTIC GYMNAST ON CREATING ART AT PARIS OLYMPICS 2024 In a discussion with the host, as he asked whether or not she would participate in the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris, she said, “Well, I think right now I still have to heal mentally and physically.” Simone Biles [https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/GettyImages-1322223493-1.jpg]FORT WORTH, TEXAS – JUNE 06: Simone Biles reacts after competing on the vault during the Senior Women’s competition of the U.S. Gymnastics Championships at Dickies Arena on June 06, 2021, in Fort Worth, Texas. (Photo by Jamie Squire/Getty Images) The athlete had previously withdrawn from the Tokyo Olympics [https://www.si.com/olympics/2021/07/27/simone-biles-injury-tokyo-olympics-mental-health-withdrawal] on medical grounds. Biles informed her teammates and coaches that she was unable to proceed after a botched vault at one event. Watch This Story– The story of Biles and her childhood buddy [https://www.essentiallysports.com/stories/us-sports-news-simone-biles-and-her-childhood-best-friend-heres-the-heartwarming-story/] “So I will be in Paris, I just don’t know at what role, as an athlete or an audience member,” she said, “we’ll just have to see.” While the gymnast’s fans are eager to see her return to her sport, they are happy to see her sporting the wedding ring. If she would represent the US in Paris remains the question to be answered.

Gymnastics is a collection of physical exercises requiring a lot of strength, agility, balance, and flexibility. It is closely related to circus performing skills as athletes put their bodies to the fullest use. Likewise, there are various disciplines for gymnasts to showcase their talents. Thus, it evolved from ancient Greeks that included skills to mounting to dismounting a horse. The competitive form of gymnastics is called artistic gymnastics. It involves various events for women like the floor, vault, uneven bars, and the beam. For men, they have floor, vault, rings, pommel horse, parallel bars, and horizontal bars. Therefore, the sport is famous for its aesthetic values and the Olympics draws major crowds to the gymnastics arena.

<h3>History of Gymnastics</h3>
Gymnastics originated from the Greek term, 'to exercise naked,' applied in ancient Greece exercises. These exercises became a mainstay at the Olympics but most of the competition came from ancient roots. There are stone engravings found in Shandong province during <a href="https://www.britannica.com/sports/gymnastics/Gymnasts" target="_blank" rel="noopener">the Han Period</a> (206 <span class="text-smallcaps">BCE</span>–220 <span class="text-smallcaps">CE) where they portrayed acrobatics. Like every sport, the person credited for making the sport famous was Friedrich Ludwig Jahn, founder of the Turnverein movement as he helped to spread gymnastics across the world. </span>

<span class="text-smallcaps">Most of the exercises were conducted on the playground. Therefore, various events came into existence. They held the first Gymnastics festival in 1860 in Coburg. The Americans were introduced to Gymnastics in the late 1820s while the Federation Internationale Gymnastique was founded in 1881 to organize the event. The 1896 Olympic Games saw the starting stages of gymnastics being introduced to the world. </span>
<h3>The Sport</h3>
There are three divisions of artistic gymnastics- artistic, rhythmic, and trampoline. There are six <a href="https://completegymnastics.com/gymnastics-disciplines-explained/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">events</a> for men and the all around event where they combine scores from every discipline. For women, there are four exercises and a similar all around event, both team and individual events. Apart from artistic gymnastics, there is rhythmic gymnastics and is practiced only by women. Trampoline is the other discipline of gymnastics and introduced itself at the 2000 Olympic Games. As years pass by, various gymnasts showcased their athletic skills to the masses in attendance.

<h3>Famous gymnasts in the world</h3>
<strong>Simone Biles:</strong>

In terms of pure dominance, Simone Biles enters the list as arguably the greatest gymnast of all time. She is the <a href="https://www.rookieroad.com/gymnastics/top-6-best-womens-players-of-all-time/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">most decorated</a> gymnast in the World Championships, winning four gold, one silver, and two bronze medals. The 2016 Rio Olympics saw her winning four gold medals and completely dominated the events. She has 25 World Championships medals to her name and her stance on mental health helps her become an influential person in the society.

<strong>Larisa Latynina:</strong>

Winning nine gold medals at the Olympics is astonishing and Larisa Latynina ranks on top of the famous gymnast charts. After Michael Phelps, she has the most Olympic medals with 18. She popularized the sport of gymnastics and was the first star in the sport. Her iconic performances will go down to the gymnastics folklore.

<strong>Nadia Comaneci:</strong>

Achieving a perfect 10.0 score in gymnastics is amazing. But, doing it at the Olympics, when just turning 14, placed Nadia Comaneci amongst the pantheon of greats. The 1976 Olympics saw her earning seven perfect scores. She won five Olympic gold medals out of the nine she won.

<strong>Svetlana Khorkina:</strong>

With a total of 47 Olympic, World and European Championships medals, Svetlana Khorkina is a remarkable gymnast. She became the first gymnast to win three all-around titles at the World Championships while winning five gold medals in the uneven bars at World Championships. Her success in the uneven bars earned her the moniker 'The Queen of Bars.'

[caption id="attachment_857640" align="aligncenter" width="1280"]<img class="wp-image-857640 size-full" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/GettyImages-1281161781.jpg" alt="" width="1280" height="1920" /> NASHVILLE, TENNESSEE - OCTOBER 18: Jonathan Owens #36 of the Houston Texans leaves the field after a game against the Tennessee Titans at Nissan Stadium on October 18, 2020 in Nashville, Tennessee. (Photo by Frederick Breedon/Getty Images)[/caption]
<h3>Early Career</h3>
Born on July 22, 1995, Owens' mother Arthurine Cannon helped him to develop into an NFL player. Crediting his mother for the work put in, Owens is a family man and has a sister. However, things were not easy for safety.

Having no Division I scholarships while studying at Christian Brothers College High School in suburban St. Louis, the player's career had a downward trajectory at first. He later attended Division II school, Missouri Western State to get his education. When NFL scouts came to his college, there were surprised by his attributes. He had a 43-inch vertical during the NFL combine as it ranked much higher than most other athletes. But, he went undrafted only for the Arizona Cardinals to pick him up at the end of the draft. The signing did not prove to be worthwhile for the team as he spent his time on the sidelines with a knee injury.

With all the injury problems he had, the Cardinals decided to end his <a href="https://www.texasmonthly.com/arts-entertainment/simone-biles-jonathan-owens-relationship/amp/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">tenure</a>. He ended up practicing at a public park which humbled him thoroughly while motivating him to become better. After some knee surgeries, he ended up playing one game in 2019 while playing six games in 2020. After struggling for a long time, he got promoted to the active roster and made his debut for the Houston Texans' game against the Jacksonville Jaguars.
<h3>Jonathan Owens' girlfriend</h3>
One of the key reasons for his success is also the influence of Simone Biles. The couple started dating back in August 2020 as they posted an Instagram post. With Biles withdrew from the gymnastics competition, she spoke about how Owens was a major reason for her withdrawal from the competition.

The couple stays together in Spring, Texas. They hang together for most of the time as Biles keeps supporting him to become successful. Hence, both of them carry out a magnificent relationship. He also has a bulldog named Zeus that has its own Instagram page. The couple now is engaged after Owens proposed to Biles.
