appears to be taking a well-earned break—trading flips and routines for turquoise waves and sandy shores. On vacation in San Pedro, Belize, with husband Jonathan Owens, the gymnast-turned-global star is enjoying some downtime following the intensity of the 2024 Paris Olympics.

In one now-viral post, Biles stood confidently against the ocean view, later sharing a video clip of the pristine coast. True to her flair, she captioned it 'HONEY, I'M HOME,' a simple yet evocative announcement to fans who follow her every move. Another Instagram Story shows off her freshly braided hair and a snapshot of what looked like a mouthwatering seaside meal—small but powerful details that speak volumes about her mood and moment.
Inside Simone and Jonathan's Candid Vacation Moments
Biles and Owens are no strangers to travel. Earlier this year, they celebrated their honeymoon in South Africa, including safari adventures and intimate moments that resonated across social media. Their public profile continues to showcase a love story many fans admire—Owens even shared a heartfelt reaction when Biles received the Laureus Sportswoman of the Year award.

While Belize may not be the splashiest of celeb destinations, the couple's understated intimacy—shots of low-key bar fun where Biles joked about Owens's facial expressions ⟶ 'I'm dying @Jonathan's facial expressions', to which he responded 'Maaaaan'—paints a vivid picture of their bond.
Owens even hinted that fish would be on the menu at every meal: 'Imma eat some fish for every meal while I'm here.'It's the kind of candid moment that gives fans a sense of being 'inside' the vacation without intruding.
The green swimsuit moment fits seamlessly into Simone's fashion narrative. She's known for bold, statement-making swimwear—like her neon sets in Turks and Caicos and leopard prints in South Africa—capturing attention not just for the sport she's in, but how she presents herself wherever she goes.
Her choice of minimal accessories and natural styling here reflects a shift toward relaxed authenticity.
On the matter of her gymnastics future, Biles has remained deliberately non-committal, stating that upcoming Olympic participation will only happen if it has deep personal meaning. Her current reprieve in Belize may be the mental reset she needs before deciding what's next—whether it's a return to the elite training circuit or continued time with her closest loved ones.

UAE adds another flying taxi: US-based firm partners with Abu Dhabi for latest test flight success

Abu Dhabi completes its first successful flying taxi test at Al Bateen Executive Airport, paving the way for commercial launch in early 2026/Image credits: WAM Abu Dhabi has taken a major step toward futuristic transportation by successfully completing the first test flight of a flying taxi at Al Bateen Executive Airport. The flight was conducted by US-based Archer Aviation in partnership with the Abu Dhabi Investment Office (Adio), marking a milestone ahead of the planned commercial launch of air taxi services in early 2026. According to Omran Malek, Head of Autonomous Mobility and Robotics at Adio, the test flight is the first in a series of structured evaluations aimed at launching not just a flying taxi service, but a full-fledged aviation ecosystem. Speaking to local news outlet Khaleej Times, Omran Malek said, 'We don't just test to test, but test to commercialise. We're not just launching an air taxi service, we're building an ecosystem around us , from pilot training to MROs, to talent development, to manufacturing with Archer Aviation, with the facility in Al Ain.' The project also involves collaborations with universities to develop specialised curricula and short diplomas to prepare a skilled workforce for the sector. Testing Under UAE Conditions The testing phase will continue through the summer months to evaluate how the aircraft performs under Abu Dhabi's hot and dusty climate. 'Then we'll bring this aircraft to fly over the city and move into the commercial phase in early 2026,' Malek said. Dr Talib Alhinai, UAE Manager at Archer Aviation, said that the aircraft used in this phase was not piloted, as the goal is to test environmental readiness. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like One plan.

Our initial flight test operations in the UAE are focused specifically on evaluating the aircraft's performance in high temperature, humidity, and dust,' he noted. Roadmap to Commercial Launch and Manufacturing Once testing is complete, Archer plans to launch a small fleet of air taxis in Abu Dhabi. Key priorities for the launch include: Safe commercial operations Fully developed vertiports Airspace integration 'All that is the priority for us to launch in Abu Dhabi,' said Malek. Looking further ahead, the manufacturing of the aircraft is scheduled to begin in Al Ain in 2027, with future exports planned to other interested countries across the region. A New Mode of Daily Travel Contrary to the belief that flying taxis will be exclusive to luxury travellers, Malek said pricing in Abu Dhabi will be designed to be feasible for the general public. 'As we introduce more vertiports and aircraft, that price will scale down so that it can be used on a daily basis,' he said. The announcement comes shortly after a similar successful test flight by Joby Aviation in Dubai, showing strong momentum in the UAE's push to lead urban air mobility in the region. Dubai's First Flying Taxi Test Flight Just this week, Dubai marked a key milestone in urban mobility with the first test flight of a flying taxi developed by Joby Aviation. The test took place at Joby's test facility at the Dubai Jetman Helipad in Margham, located along the Dubai–Al Ain Road. Dubai is now preparing for a commercial rollout by the first half of 2026, aiming to provide residents and visitors a premium air mobility service. The UAE is leading the way in futuristic transportation, with both Abu Dhabi and Dubai successfully conducting test flights for flying taxis. These milestones reflect the country's commitment to redefining urban mobility, with significant investment in advanced technologies. By embracing innovative transport solutions, the UAE is working to become one of the most livable cities in the world, focusing on convenience, sustainability, and efficiency for residents and visitors alike.

It feels really good to be number one again: Neeraj Chopra

Neeraj Chopra is thrilled about having regained the top spot in men's javelin throw as per the latest World Athletics ranking. But it hasn't been an easy climb to the top, with the last year, in particular, being very tough, admits Chopra.'I was second almost everywhere,' he says. But, 'after a long time, I have become number one again. It feels really good,' says the 27-year-old, India's first track and field athlete to win an Olympic gold medal. 'I will try to keep it going.' Another recent feather in his cap: a 90.23 metre throw at the Doha Diamond League on May 16, where he finally breached the 90-metre mark he had aspired for. 'I wanted to throw over 90m for a long time. People kept asking me when I would,' he says. 'Now that question is over,' says Chopra, speaking on the sidelines of a recent fitness community engagement event held at the Under Armour store in Indiranagar, Bengaluru, where he participated in a 5-kilometre run. He is also excited about the inaugural edition of the upcoming Neeraj Chopra (NC) Classic, an elite javelin throw meet scheduled to take place at the Kanteerava Stadium in Bengaluru on July 5. According to him, the event came out of a desire to create a competition in India 'where international athletes can participate,' he says, adding that the idea to do so occurred to him during the Tokyo Olympics. While the initial plan was to have this meet at the Tau Devi Lal Sports Complex in Panchkula, Haryana, 'since I trained there and Haryana is my State,' there were some technical and infrastructural difficulties with it, he says.'There was not enough time to change things, but hopefully, it will happen in the future.' Right now, however, he is looking forward to having it in Bengaluru, where 'the weather is good and people support sports,' says Chopra. Fitness first As a young boy, he was overweight and often bullied by his classmates. So, he turned to fitness, heading to the nearby Shivaji Stadium in his hometown in an attempt to lose weight. There, he saw other athletes throwing the javelin, 'so it came to my mind that I also wanted to do it. I told my family, and they supported me,' says Chopra, who went on to win a gold medal at the National Junior Athletics Championships in 2012, just a couple of years after he began training seriously in the sport. Other accolades soon followed, including a gold medal at the 2016 IAAF World U20 Championships in Bydgoszcz, another gold medal at the 2018 Commonwealth Games, an Olympic gold medal at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, and a silver medal at the 2024 Paris Olympics. 'I didn't know that I would be able to come so far when I started,' he admits. 'But the journey has been good.' Indian sports, especially track and field events, have undergone considerable evolution in recent times, believes Chopra, who has witnessed this transformation firsthand. 'Earlier, we didn't have much knowledge about sports or much motivation about how we do it,' he says. 'We used to do some old exercises, techniques and training plans.' This, however, has slowly changed because more athletes from India began coaching abroad, he says. Also, while traditionally the winners of the javelin throw were European athletes, 'there are throwers from all parts of the world now, and I am very happy about it,' says Chopra. He believes it will improve even more in the future. 'The Government is now doing the Target Olympic Podium Scheme (TOPS) top scheme. It will help people compete with international athletes,' he says. He also discusses how his own training has altered since he first started competing. 'We used to believe in strength and would lift a lot,' he says. 'We didn't pay attention to the techniques or the exercises.' But, a sport like javelin also requires speed and flexibility, so 'now we also do drills, sprinting, and flexibility work,' says Chopra, who is currently being trained by Jan Železný, a record-holding javelin thrower from the Czech Republic. Also, 'to prevent injury, you have to do small, boring exercises for small muscles. A lot of athletes forget about it.' After all, safeguarding one's body and staying injury-free is especially important in an individual sport like javelin. Unlike a team sport, 'where if you get injured, someone else can step in for you', in this sort of sport, 'if you make a mistake or get injured, it is on you,' says Chopra. And while injury is often inevitable, something he has personally experienced as well, 'the most important thing is that you have to do your work consistently to keep your mind and body ready,' he says. Think like a farmer Chopra grew up in a farming family in Khandra village, Panipat district, Haryana, a background that shaped his resilience and positive attitude towards sports. 'There is a good sporting culture in Haryana,' he says, pointing out that one can often spot young people routinely running on the road early in the morning. 'They are enthusiastic about fitness,' he says. His agrarian roots too, helped, in his opinion. 'We (farmers) are tough and have a hard-working mindset,' he says. Drawing a parallel between farming and sports, where one must work resolutely through uncomfortable weather, managing both rain and heat, he adds, 'The fact that my mindset was like this, right from the start, helps.'
