Simone Biles skipped the Olympics 2024 opening ceremony in Paris

Simone Biles is taking time to rest before the 2024 Olympics officially kick off.

Although the renowned gymnast missed the 2024 Paris Opening Ceremony on July 26, her family, including parents Ronald and Nellie Biles, were present. They told NBC News' Hoda Kotb and Snoop Dogg that the 27-year-old is gearing up for competition this weekend.

"The first competition is Sunday," Nellie shared, "which is the Women's Qualifier. And, of course, she needs to rest up before that competition." 

Simone Biles, Suni Lee, Hezly Rivera, Jordan Chiles, and Jade Carey were all advised to skip the Opening Ceremony due to its length.

Regarding Simone’s condition before she competes this weekend—especially after her struggle with the twisties during the Tokyo Olympics.

"She is feeling really good," Nellie told Hoda, "I spoke to her this morning and she's doing great. She's just in a really good place."

Simone Biles will have 17 family members supporting her at the Games, including her husband, NFL player Jonathan Owens, who was granted leave from practice with the Chicago Bears.

“I can’t wait to be able to support her," he told reporters July 25, via Yahoo Sports. "How did I get so lucky? That this is my wife and I get to see someone that's literally at the pinnacle at her sport and I get to call this my wife. It's amazing. There's no words to really describe, just blessed."

Despite her mental health struggles during the 2020 Games, Simone Biles has been feeling more resilient and strong as she heads into the Paris Olympics.

“This time, coming back, it’s truly for myself," she said in the Netflix docuseries, Simone Biles Rising, released July 17. "But it’s also, I never want to look back in 10 years and say, 'Oh, what if I could’ve done another Olympic cycle or at least tried?'"
