What are Simone Biles and Ilona Maher’s plans after the Paris Olympics?

It’s hard enough already Us to overcome the end of the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris. Can you imagine how tough it is for Team USA athletes?

Stars like Simone Biles, Noah Lyles And Ilona Maher spent their entire lives building up to those three weeks in Paris. In the blink of an eye, it was all over and time for Team USA to head home – hopefully with a medal or four to push their baggage allowance to the limit.

What do these world-famous athletes actually do when it’s all over?

Let’s take a look at what some of the Paris Olympics’ most high-profile athletes have been up to since the spectacular closing ceremony.

Unfortunately, Biles doesn’t have one yet: her dream home with husband Jonathan Owens is still under construction! After a night of hard partying in Paris with her fellow Team USA athletes, Biles flew home and headed straight to the construction site to see how things were going. She shared the work in progress via her Instagram Stories. Biles has also been reunited with her beloved dogs, Lilo and Rambo (who were also). enjoy their own vacation while their parents were in Paris) and Owens.

Ilona Maher

Maher’s profile at the Olympics has risen far beyond what the rugby sevens bronze medalist could have imagined. The times in London declared that the social media star could be “the woman who helps rugby crack America.” Maher enjoyed her newfound fame; she went straight from celebrating her birthday at the closing ceremony to appearing on Late Night with Seth Meyers looks uber-glamour.
