Simone Biles partners with Athleta after six years at Nike

Simone Biles has entered into an apparel partnership with women's sportswear company Athleta, the Wall Street Journal reported Friday on a move expected to be announced later in the day.

Biles had been a Nike athlete since 2015.

"It wasn’t just about my achievements, it’s what I stood for and how they were going to help me use my voice and also be a voice for females and kids,” Biles told the WSJ of her relationship with Athleta. “I feel like they also support me, not just as an athlete, but just as an individual outside of the gym and the change that I want to create, which is so refreshing.
