Simone Biles received an emotional reaction from her mom and NFL star husband Jonathan Owens at the U.S. Championships, as the gymnast stepped up her preparations for the Paris Olympics with another title in the books.
In front of a sold-out audience that included Owens sitting first row in Fort Worth, Texas, on Sunday, the 27-year-old Biles put on a four-rotation clinic that featured all the trademarks of a typical performance.
She showed off jaw-dropping athleticism mixed with precision and more than a splash of swagger, in front of her breathless mother, Nellie.
Six months ago, Owens - a safety for the Chicago Bears - revealed that he had no idea about who the four-time Olympic golden medalist was when they first started dating in 2020, sparking backlash on social media.
Nonetheless, by the end of this weekend, Biles posted a two-day all-around total of 119.750, nearly six points clear of runner-up Skye Blakely.

Simone Biles finally cracks and tells critics to 'f*** off' in furious Instagram post - after her NFL star husband Jonathan Owens was slammed again
It left little doubt that she appears ready to add a second all-around Olympic gold to go with the one she captured in 2016.
Biles also finished with the highest two-day score on all four events - something she'd done only once before at nationals (2018) - to build plenty of momentum ahead of the Olympic trials later this month in Minneapolis.
Her only misstep on Sunday came on vault. She came up short on her Yurchenko double pike - two back flips with her hands clasped behind both her knees - during warmups and overcompensated when it counted, generating so much force she wound up on her back.
She still received a 15.000 for her effort, a testament to a vault that's never been completed in competition by another woman and only attempted by a select group of men.
Not that it bothered her. Biles collected herself, took a couple of deep breaths then followed it up a Cheng vault that was rewarded with a 15.1 and put a ninth national title within reach, heady territory considering no other gymnast in the history of the sport in the U.S. has more than seven.
Owens and Biles have been in a relationship in 2020. Pictured at a Packers playoff game in Jan.
Biles is a four-time golden Olympic medalist. She crashed onto the world stage at Rio in 2016
While Biles remains above the fray as usual, there is plenty of competition for the other four spots on the five-woman U.S. team that will head to Paris as heavy favorites to return to the top of the podium after finishing second to Russia in Tokyo three years ago.
Blakely, 19, put together another impressive performance and will head to Minneapolis with plenty of momentum.
Three years after her bid to make the 2020 Olympic team ended with an injury, Blakely is peaking at the right time.
Suni Lee, the 2020 Olympic champion who has spent the last year-plus battling kidney issues that have limited her training, shook off an early mistake on vault to put together elegant routines on uneven bars and balance beam that few in the world - even Biles - can match.

Olympians Jordan Chiles and Jade Carey are in the mix, though both endured falls on beam on Sunday.
Third-place finisher Kayla DiCello slipped off the uneven bars. Leanne Wong, perhaps looking fatigued after a long season competing at Florida, also endured uncharacteristic miscues.
Shilese Jones, considered the best all-around gymnast in the U.S. without the last name Biles, pulled out of the championships on Friday, citing a shoulder injury though she said Sunday she was feeling better and plans to be available for trials.
So will 18-year-old Kaliya Lincoln, who opted not to compete on Sunday after tweaking something during Friday night's opening session.
Both - if healthy - figure to be serious contenders to earn an invitation to Paris (Jones in particular). If they're not, the door could swing wide open for others and test the depth the senior elite program has been touting for years.
