Simone Biles has announced a new partnership with Athleta, collaborating with the performance lifestyle brand to promote its 'mission of fostering community, igniting activity, and inspiring the next generation to be the best version of themselves', also launching activewear capsule collaborations for Athleta Girl in 2022.

The American gymnast, whose sponsorship deal with Nike has ended, commented 'Using my voice has been very empowering for me and I am grateful to embark on this new journey with Athleta to inspire young girls and women to do the same... I admire Athleta for their commitment to recognise and support women's individual and collective strength and, together, I believe we can help girls to confidently and passionately take on the world in their athletic endeavours and beyond'.
