    Even though the 2024 Paris Olympics is over, Team USA gymnast Simone Biles remains a very busy person, with appearances left and right.

    After watching Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fever beat the Connecticut Sun on Wednesday night, Biles is reportedly scheduled to appear in a Houston Astros game on Friday.

    The Astros will also be selling some tickets for $7, according to Houston writer Michael Schwab.

    "The Astros will have select tickets for $7 for Friday's game," Schwab posted on X (formerly Twitter).

    "This will be in honor of the Astros celebrating the Houston Olympians who participated in the Paris Olympics. Simone Biles will throw out the first pitch."

    The Astros, who are coming off a 10-0 win on the road against the Philadelphia Phillies on Wednesday, will kick off a three-leg series at Minute Maid Park against the Kansas City Royals this Thursday.

    Biles, who won three gold medals and a bronze in Paris, has experience throwing a pitch before an Astros game. Back in the 2019 World Series between the Astros and the Washington Nationals, Biles pulled off a somersault on the mound before firing a strike to then-Astros outfielder Jake Marisnick.
