It isn\u2019t easy for Simone Biles<\/strong><\/a> to find clothes that fit her 4\u20198\u201d frame. The gymnast shared her struggles while shopping for pants on Monday, August 26.<\/p>\n \u201cBefore y\u2019all complain that nothing fits y\u2019all, I want y\u2019all to see my struggle,\u201d Simone, 27, wrote on her Instagram Story, along with a photo of Abercrombie & Fitch pants in a size 23\/000. \u201cSo hard to find bottoms that fit me. But when I find them \u2026 my heart.\u201d She also included several emojis to express her gratitude toward brands that make pants that fit her.<\/p>\n The Olympic champion previously opened up about her frustrations with people talking about her size. \u201cThe question I wish people would stop asking me is, \u2018How tall are you? Are you going to grow?\u2019\u201d she told Today. \u201cI\u2019m not going anywhere. I\u2019m 4\u20198\u201d. I\u2019m stuck.\u201d<\/p>\n However, Simone\u2019s small stature has come in handy when it comes to her gymnastics career. She is currently fresh off of a successful run at the 2024 Paris Olympics, where she won three gold medals \u2013 in the team all-around, individual all-around, and vault \u2013 and one silver medal in floor exercise.<\/p>\n It was quite a comeback for the Olympic champion, who previously had to withdraw from several events at the 2020 Olympics due to a mental block called the \u201ctwisties.\u201d Simone stepped down in the middle of the team competition, but was still awarded the silver medal alongside her teammates. She then sat out of several of the individual rounds she qualified for, although she did return for the balance beam and took home the bronze.<\/p>\n Before that, Simone was part of team USA at the 2016 Olympics, where she won gold medals in the team all-around, individual all-around, vault and floor exercise, as well as a bronze medal on balance beam.<\/p>\n As for whether or not she\u2019ll return for the Games in 2028, Simone previously admitted, \u201cNever say never,\u201d especially since the event will be taking place in Los Angeles. However, after making that declaration, she took to X to urge people to \u201cstop asking athletes what\u2019s next<\/a> after they win a medal at the Olympics,\u201d adding, \u201clet us soak up the moment we\u2019ve worked our whole lives for.\u201d<\/p>\n The Ohio native was already back in the gym<\/a> on August 24, though. She shared a photo of the facility on her Instagram Story and captioned it, \u201cFirst day back.\u201d This came less than two weeks after the closing ceremony in Paris<\/a> on August 11.<\/p>\n Right now, though, Simone\u2019s main focus seems to be supporting her husband, Jonathan Owens<\/strong>, in his football career. The Chicago Bears safety is in the midst of preseason and will kick off regular season play on September 8. During the Olympics, he was granted five days off from training camp so he could travel to Paris and be there for his wife.<\/a><\/p>\n \u201cWe respect the Olympics,\u201d Bears head coach Matt Eberflus<\/strong> explained. \u201cThat is a big deal. And he\u2019s just supporting the one he loves the most. And I think that\u2019s so cool that he gets to do that. We welcome that and it\u2019s going to be awesome.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
