Simone Biles was paid a surprise visit by Alexis Ohanian at the 'Gold over America Tour'. The American entrepreneur visited the Florida leg of the 'GOAT' tour, along with his wife, tennis legend Serena Williams, and his daughter, Olympia Alexis Ohanian Jr.

Ohanian posted about the same on his X account, as he wrote,

"I had to take S & Jr to see @Simone_Biles' Gold Over America Tour. Packed house. Awesome night. Don't miss it if they're coming to your town. And thank you Simone and @ChilesJordan for absolutely making Olympia's MONTH."

However, fans couldn't help but notice a striking similarity between Biles and Ohanian's daughter Olympia's height, who is only seven years old. They took to X [formerly Twitter] to express their thoughts on the same.

"Not Simone and Jr. being the same height", wrote one user.

"Is it an optical illusion, or is Olympia really almost as tall as Simone Biles?" inquired another user.

"Olympia is going to be tall! So cute and adorable!" a user chimed in.

"Olympia is almost as tall as Simone and she's only 7. I can't wait to see which sport she pursues seriously," commented one user.

"She is only slightly smaller than Simone. What a powerhouse in a tiny package!" added another user.

Alexis Ohanian had visited the 'GOAT' tour when they stopped at the Kia Center in Florida. The American entrepreneur, who has also launched an all-women's track league 'Athlos NYC', was mesmerized by the popularity of the event, as well as Biles' performance.

Ohanian took to his X account to express his thoughts about the event. In his words,

"Packed house for @Simone_Biles and the crew"

Interestingly, the association between Biles and Ohanian goes back to an event in 2023, where the Olympic champion called out Gymnastics Ireland for discriminating against a black athlete. Ohanian was impressed by Biles' concern for the athlete as he posted,

"I waited to comment on this because a part of me wanted to believe there was some missing piece of the story that would explain why it looked so wrong. There wasn't. And this happened ages ago with no apology until this clip went viral. Good on @Simone_Biles."

Simone Biles is currently in the state of Missouri for the next leg of the 'GOAT' tour, which will be held on October 15 and October 16. The events will take place at Family Arena in St. Charles and T-Mobile Center in Kansas City respectively.
