Biles Goes Viral Over NFL Handshake

ceremony
Publication by EssentiallySports | August 30, 2026 | Edition #687 |

Hey Athletic Fans,
Sometimes, it's so easy to go viral. All you need to do is be Simone Biles and come up with a rather creative and flashy handshake with your NFL star husband. Then have someone film it, and poof, you have your recipe for viral fame. Simple, isn't it?
And while Biles was enjoying her break, one retired US sprinter was spilling the beans on how her dream college slammed the door in her face. It clearly didn't deter her, as she would go on to win two Olympic medals, including a gold.
All that and more in tonight's edition of Essentially Athletics.

⚡Why this matters: Simone Biles and her NFL star husband Jonathan Owens have made this iconic handshake their own.

It's Here: Pique's New Caffeine-Free Afternoon Energy
I quit my afternoon coffee. Not because I wanted to — because I found something better.
You know that wall you hit every day around 2–3 PM? I used to just accept it as the cost of doing anything. Another coffee, a quick spike, then the crash — and somehow I'd still feel dehydrated by dinner.
Then I tried X·E Fountain, Pique's brand-new electrolyte energy drink, and I genuinely wasn't ready for how good "no crash" could feel.
No caffeine jitters. No 4 PM slump. Just clean, steady energy that actually hydrates me instead of draining me. It's built with a premium Vitamin B Complex for natural cellular energy, Magnesium Malate + Taurate for real focus, and a full electrolyte blend that makes it feel like a treat, not a chore.
The cucumber-celery-lime flavor is so crisp and refreshing — it's basically stolen my afternoon coffee slot completely.

▶️WATCH: 21-year-old Addisu Gobena broke away with two kilometers to go and never looked back, shattering Sydney Marathon's course record by 84 seconds, earning redemption a year after finishing runner-up on the very same course.
