Four-time Olympic gymnastics champion Simone Biles has signed up with Gap Inc’s Athleta brand for a new apparel partnership, ending an almost six-year deal with Nike Inc.
The 24-year-old Biles, already the most decorated gymnast in world championship history, said in an Instagram post today (Fri) that she wanted to partner with a brand that shares her “passion to help girls rise and own their limitless potential.”
Athleta, founded in 1998 as a brand for female athletes, said it plans to co-create an activewear line with Biles and design other signature products.
Biles had previously said she would retire after the Tokyo Olympics this year but has hinted at reconsidering.
