Not to put the gold medal before the (vaulting) horse, but should gymnastShilese Jones find herself wearing a particular piece of shiny jewelry at the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris, she has a dedication all worked out.
"It wouldn't just be for me and my team, but also for my dad," the 21-year-old exclusively told E! News at NBC Sports' Road to Paris Bus Tour. Much like his determined and preternaturally talented daughter, Sylvester Jones Jr., who died in 2021 after a prolonged battle with kidney disease "was the one that was in the gym day in and day out," she continued, "so it definitely would go out to him."
