Simone Biles and her husband, NFL player Jonathan Owens, are currently in Italy for the Winter Olympics.
Biles, of course, is one of the most decorated U.S. Summer Olympians of all-time. She's arguably the most dominant female gymnast ever. But while Biles is likely done with her U.S. Olympics career, she's still staying around the games.
This week, Biles and her husband, Chicago Bears defensive back Jonathan Owens, attended the Winter Olympics in Milan. However, Biles and her husband had a scary incident, as they were nearly the victims of a robbery.

Biles' husband took to social media to detail what happened at the Winter Olympics in Milan, Italy over the weekend.
"Not somebody just tried to snatch my shopping bag in Milan, force of habit i had it tied around my hand so he couldn’t get it and took off running immediately….but still crazy," he wrote on X.
NFL fans react to the attempted robbery
"Interesting choice trying you like that. Was he fast? More importantly, could you have tracked him down in the moment?" one fan wrote.
"Should’ve let him take it just to chase him down and peanut punch it out of his hands," one fan added.
"He just don’t know that he wasn’t getting away even if he got it," one fan added.
"Pretty common in Europe especially with the number of overseas visitors with the Olympics. You should have let them get away then all the spectators could see #36 make that open field tackle!" another fan added.
Thankfully, Owens didn't have to chase anyone down. It's the offseason for him, after all.
