Jonathan Owens, who is currently playing for the Chicago Bears and is married to Olympic champion Simone Biles, recounted a startling experience while attending the Winter Olympics in Milan, Italy. In a social media post, Owens shared that someone attempted to snatch his shopping bag. Thanks to his quick reflexes and the way he secured the bag around his hand, the assailant fled empty-handed. Owens described the encounter as surprising and somewhat typical of urban life, stating 'not somebody just tried to snatch my shopping bag in Milan, force of habit.'

During his time in Italy, Owens was also spotted alongside Biles as they supported Team USA at the Olympics. The couple attended various events, including watching the men’s free skate figure skating competition. Their presence at the Games not only signifies their athletic ties but also reinforces Biles' continued status as a prominent figure in the sports world, even as she shares the spotlight with her husband's career in the NFL. They were particularly rooting for American figure skater Ilia Malinin, who, despite a promising reputation as the 'Quad God,' faced difficulties during his performance.

The incident sheds light on the safety concerns sometimes experienced by visitors in popular tourist destinations. While Owens and Biles enjoyed their time at the Winter Olympics supporting their fellow athletes, the near-robbery serves as a reminder of the unpredictable nature of urban environments. Fans of both Owens and Biles will likely continue to follow their journey and the experiences that unfold as they navigate life both in sports and in personal matters.
