Simone Biles gave Cleveland's newest WNBA franchise a boost this week when she showed up in a Cleveland Sirens hat during a TikTok video posted on September 5th. The Columbus, Ohio native paired the Lake Erie blue cap with a trampoline session full of tumbling passes and midair twists that looked like a scaled-down floor routine.
Simone Biles Hints at LA28 Olympics Campaign
Simone Biles's caption only added to the social media buzz.
"Full send 2028 or no??!!" Biles wrote, fueling ongoing speculation about whether she'll compete at the 2028 LA Olympics.
She would be 31 by then, but after earning three golds and a silver at the 2024 Paris Games, few are counting her out — including Cleveland's front office.

Cleveland Sirens Buzz Growing Beyond WNBA Fans
The Sirens' official TikTok account responded to the post with a string of blue heart emojis, and Biles liked the reply. The team revealed its name and branding on August 4th at Rocket Arena ahead of its planned 2028 debut.
For women's sports fans, the exchange between the decorated Olympian and the WNBA team was a welcome sign that the expansion franchise is building buzz well beyond Ohio.
