USA Gymnastics couldn’t be any prouder of superstars Simone Biles and Jordan Chiles. The organization showed as much on Friday, August 30, after the Houston Astros honored the Olympians against the Kansas City Royals. Biles and Chiles, along with other Olympic athletes, were in attendance during the showdown as part of the Astros’ tribute to the Houston Olympians who participated in the 2024 Paris Olympics.
In fact, Biles was given the honor of throwing the ceremonial first pitch at the game, a moment which drew heartwarming reactions from fans and the MLB itself.
Meanwhile, Chiles-who recently ended her social media hiatus caused by the Olympic bronze medal controversy she’s involved in-received her much-deserved recognition as well when fans gave her a round of applause when she was shown on the jumbotron.
After seeing the Astros honor Biles and Chiles, USA Gymnastics also showed their support for the two athletes.
They posted a picture of them on X (previously known as Twitter) during the event, celebrating the moment.
USA Gymnastics praised the two by saying, “These two did a great job!” They mentioned that Simone Biles and Jordan Chiles were honored with other Olympians from Houston at the Astros game. It’s wonderful to see Simone Biles and Jordan Chiles receiving the recognition they deserve.
They have made their country proud at the Olympics, and fans should definitely show their support for them.
Good news for fans of USA Gymnastics, as they will have the opportunity to watch Biles and Chiles perform more in the coming months.
The duo will be part of the Gold Over America Tour, along with other Olympic gymnasts, visiting 30 cities from September to November.”
