Ghosts

Not only do Simone Biles and Caeleb Dressel very much believe in ghosts, they both believe they have interacted with spirits before! Volleyball's Alix Klineman, on the other hand, not so much.

Simone Biles is pretty sure she's seen one, and Alix Klineman is convinced they're not real. See what other Olympic athletes think about ghosts.

Aliens

Basketball star Elana Della Donne is absolutely positive there is life out there. Once again, Alix Klineman didn't believe there could be anything else out there — but surprisingly this time had more members of Team USA in agreement with her.

Ella Delle Donne unequivocally believes in aliens. "I think it's crazy to think that we're the only living being in the universe." Gymnast Suni Lee begs to differ. See how other Olympic athletes feel about them.

Santa

*WARNING: This video may not be safe for children.*

While yes, there are some Grinches among Team USA (still lookin' at you, Klineman) who no longer believe, others embrace the Christmas spirit and think Santa is very much a real thing.

(Warning: This video is not safe for children.) We asked Olympians if they believe in Santa Claus. Their answers ranged from heartbreaking to heartwarming.

Love

Finally one that Alix Klineman believes in! And while all seemed to agree with her, gymnast Morgan Hurd had an interesting, more scientific take on the concept of love.

We asked athletes if they believe in love. Some of them answered with an emphatic "yes" and the name of the person who makes them believe in it, while one athlete questioned if love was even real.

Second Chances

This one was more unanimous, with the important caveat of "depending on the circumstances." Third chances on the other hand...

Simone Biles does believe in second chances — with conditions. "Depending on what it is," she says. Meanwhile, Brooke Sweat believes in them for a very personal reason.

Bigfoot

Olympic gold medalist Simone Biles reveals whether she believes in ghosts and why she thinks Bigfoot may be a thing.

In a 2020 interview, Olympic legend Simone Biles revealed whether she believed in ghosts and why she thinks Bigfoot may be a thing.

Karma

Wrestler Jordan Burrougs didn't buy into the concept of karma, but beach volleyball star April Ross thinks the opposite. "Putting positive energy into the world and helping each other out goes full circle," she says.

Wrestler Jordan Burrougs doesn't buy into the concept of karma. "Bad stuff happens to all people," he says. Beach volleyball star April Ross thinks the opposite. "Putting positive energy into the world and helping each other out goes full circle," she says.
