Simone Biles’ is popular not only for her complex moves in the arena but also for her versatility. The incredibly talented champion has dominated every apparatus and is now venturing beyond gymnastics to showcase her skills in other fields. Given her love for food, it’s only natural for her to immerse herself in the culinary world following her triumphant Olympic performance.
According to a press release by the George Bush Intercontinental Airport at Houston, Biles is set to partner with The Playmakers Group for a brand new restaurant at the airport. The eatery will be designed around her accomplishments throughout her career.
The ‘Taste of Gold’ will not only reflect Biles’ journey and persona through the decor and overall theme but also reflect her food preferences. The gymnast stated how she planned to integrate her favorite flavors into their menu.
“I am a foodie at heart, and our hope with Taste of Gold is to offer a beautiful dining experience that features award-winning, signature menu items with some of my favorite flavors sprinkled in for our guests.”
Currently under construction, the restaurant will open its doors in 2025, inside terminal A near gate A8. Until the restaurant opens, fans can enjoy watching Biles put on a show with her signature moves at the Gold Over America Tour.
Biles picks up new skills
If her signature moves that stunned the world at the Olympics weren’t enough, Biles now seems to have picked up new skills along the way. Either for fun or for her Gold Over America Tour, she flaunted some of her new tricks as a teaser.
Initially, she tried the Pommel horse, attempting the move on a gymnastics mushroom during one of her practice sessions. Other gymnasts joined her, some nailing the trick while others failed.
However, the next move was a unique skill that might not work its way into competitions but was still impressive enough. Biles learned a new trick on the beam, courtesy of Skye Blakely, that involved rotating along the beam sideways. It required quite a lot of strength since the gymnast didn’t have head support either, but she seemed to have fun pulling it off.
