U.S. gymnast Simone Biles ends Nike partnership, joins Gap's Athleta: WSJ
The Peninsula
Four-time Olympic gymnastics champion Simone Biles is leaving Nike Inc's roster of athletes to join a new apparel partnership with Gap Inc's Athleta brand, the Wall Street Journal reported on Friday.
Athleta has pledged to support Biles' post-Olympics gymnastics tour that she is planning to mount herself, rather than the usual tour backed by governing body USA Gymnastics, she told the Journal in an interview. Nike, Gap and Biles did not immediately respond to Reuters' requests for comment.More Related News
