While Simone Biles (27), the U.S. women’s gymnastics team, was recently spotted wearing a uniform with Hangeul engraved on it at the 2024 Paris Olympics, Nike announced its intention to embroider in Hangeul.
On the 5th (local time), Biles fell to fifth place during the final round of the women’s average gymnastics at the Versi Stadium in Paris, France. At the time, Biles was caught on camera wearing a U.S. national team uniform jacket on top of her uniform while waiting for the final ranking announcement.
In particular, the inside of Biles’ national team uniform collar was engraved with white embroidery saying “anyone, everyone” in Korean, drawing attention. The scene was shared on the Korean online community, and it was speculated that “the Olympic spirit was engraved in Korean.”
In a related development, Nike said the letters meaning “all of us” are engraved not only in Korean but also in many languages. The actual uniforms are engraved with Korean letters “any everything,” Swahili letters “yote note” and Portuguese letters “todos nos.”
If you look at the detailed cut of the U.S. national team uniform released by Nike, you can see that the belt has Korean embroidery “~ anyone.”
Nike explained, “It contains the meaning of respecting various cultures and trying to connect together through sports.”
Simone Biles won the team event, the individual all-around event, vault, and floor at the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Olympics, making her world-famous name. At the 2024 Paris Olympics, she won the team event, the individual all-around event, and the three-time vault, as well as the silver medal in floor exercise, winning another four medals
