It has been more than 3 years since Aly Raisman retired from gymnastics. However, it’s never too late to revisit some of those old memories as one of her close friends drops by for a visit. As Jonathan Owens gets busy with his new team Green Bay Packers, Simone Biles recently met up with Raisman and the two had a fun time together. Raisman, who was also present at Biles and Owens’s wedding, cherished every moment spent with her then and now. It seemed like nothing changed between them in the last 7 years since their domination in Rio Olympics in 2016.

Jonathan Owens has currently been living in Wyoming, owing to his new team. His absence gave Simone Biles a reason and an opportunity to visit her friend Aly Raisman. Going by their pictures, the two seemed very happy with the reunion.

Both of them were ecstatic in meeting each other, and the wide smile on their faces said it all. The two also met at Biles’s wedding where they exchanged pleasantries and smiles there too. However, it was more about the bride and her special day with Jonathan Owens then. The recent pictures of the two of them enjoying each other’s company are reminiscent of their jubilant time in Rio.
