Spieth America and Simone Biles Land Historic 10-year Partnership

Spieth is dedicated to helping gymnasts of all ages excel, by producing the safest, most innovative equipment in the world, enabling athletes to train harder, stay safer and recover faster. These are important attributes for Biles, who is renowned for a rigorous training regime that has taken her to the pinnacle of the gymnastics world, including four gold medals and a bronze in 2016 Rio Games.

“Simone is the ideal ambassador for Spieth America,” said Brent Poulsen, managing director and CEO for the company. “Her strength of character, engaging personality and drive for success are matched only by her commitment to helping fellow gymnasts reach their full potential. We share her enthusiasm for the future of this great sport and look forward to working with her for years to come.”

Spieth America, who first partnered with Biles in 2016, developed the Simone Biles Signature product line for home use. The equipment is designed to give young gymnasts access to fun, safe equipment that will allow them to build their skills along with their love of the sport. “We would like all gymnasts, of all ages, to be able to train and compete with the confidence and determination that Simone demonstrates,” said Bill Wild, CEO of Abeo North America, Spieth America’s parent company.

“We are focused on delivering innovative, high-quality equipment that allows athletes to push performance, train hard, stay safe and maximize their capabilities. Simone’s passion and hard work in the gym, paired with the character and enthusiasm she brings to the communities she is a part of, is an inspiration for all gymnasts–and for our industry.”

About Simone Biles

Simone Biles, who is represented by Octagon, is widely regarded as one of the greatest gymnasts of all-time. The first woman to capture four All-Around World Championship titles, Biles is the most decorated gymnast in World Championship history with 20 medals overall (14 gold) and is a five-time Olympic medalist (4 gold). A two-time Laureus World Sportswoman of the Year, she has earned the rare distinction of having two skills named in her honor – The Biles – in the floor and vault disciplines. Biles', whose autobiography “Courage to Soar” was a New York Times bestseller, utilizes her platform to support initiatives that provide education and assistance for children and young adults associated with adoption and child care.
