What also excited fans and floored Owens was that the image was taken in a gymnasium, and on her fingers were her frosty engagement diamond and diamond-studded wedding band. This surprise came after Biles, in the past, had refused to wear her ring while training or doing gymnastics.
Token of love: to be preserved or not to be?
In the past, Biles shared the heights and lengths she went to protect the precious rocks adorning her fingers. When a curious fan asked her in a Q&A post on Instagram how she manages to perform with her rings, she replied, ?No, no, no! I wear a silicone band or a thin band I got off of Amazon”. Biles has previously also shared that she wears another ring from Casual Carats as a decoy that comes built into a white silicone band as well, just to be safe.
