Four-time Olympic gold medallist Simone Biles will turn her hand to cheerleading for one Sunday in December.
A tweet from the 20-year-old gymnastics star quickly led to her receiving an invite to be a part of the Houston Texas Cheerleaders.
So… the ICON @Simone_Biles will be our 1st ever honorary HTC at our NEXT #Texans home game on 12/10/17!

Before the Texans’ Monday Night Football defeat to the Baltimore Ravens earlier this week, Biles, who lives in Texas, made it clear the interest she had in being a cheerleader.
One follower suggested the Texans should invite the 10-time world champion to join their group, which garnered a positive reaction from Biles.
