Simone Biles mingles with Chicago stars Dwyane Wade, Patrick Kane
5-time Olympic medalilst invited to practice, attends her first hockey game
While in Chicago for the 2016 Kellogg's Tour of Gymnastics Champions, five-time Olympic medalist Simone Biles had the opportunity to meet some of her superfans.
Like fellow Olympian Dwyane Wade of the NBA's Bulls.

—@NHLBlackhawksBiles snagged a Blackhawks sweater with her name on the back, and had a photo op with Patrick Kane.
She was even brought on the ice to play "Shoot the Puck" but not before having a bit of dryland practice first.

—@UnitedCenterBiles received lots of love from the Windy City, so we wonder where the Texas resident's loyalties lie when it comes to basketball and hockey.
With the Chicago Cubs set to start the NLCS series on Saturday, it's a shame there wasn't a game for Biles to throw out the first pitch. We think it would have been epic, judging by the way she did it at a Houston Astros game back in July.
