What is Simone Biles's full name as listed by Wikipedia?

The story behind the answer

Simone Biles's full name as listed by Wikipedia is Simone Arianne Biles Owens.

She was born Simone Arianne Biles on March 14, 1997, in Columbus, Ohio. “Biles” remains the name under which she is internationally known and competed, while “Owens” was added after her marriage to American football player Jonathan Owens in 2023. Wikipedia’s infobox therefore gives her current full name as Simone Arianne Biles Owens.

The name is sometimes shortened to Simone Biles in sports coverage, official competition records, and gymnastics results. That is not a contradiction: athletes are commonly identified by their established sporting name even after a legal or marital name change. Her middle name is Arianne—not Marie, Ann, or Arielle.

Biles is one of the most decorated gymnasts in history. She has competed for the United States at multiple Olympic Games and is especially associated with the all-around, vault, balance beam, floor exercise, and her eponymous skills.
