Owens and Biles had been spotted at the Winter Olympics, watching the men’s free figure skating competition. Both athletes were shooting for Ilia Malinin as the “Quad God” aimed for a gold medal to add to his collection.
Unfortunately, Malinin suffered two falls and finished in eighth place in the event.
“Totally devastated for Ilia,” she wrote on Threads.

Biles went through a series of “twists and turns” during her gymnastics competition. She took a short leave from Team USA to figure it out. She returned to the 2024 Paris Games and won three gold medals.
