At the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris, Simone Biles wrote the screenplay for a historic comeback, winning an incredible four medals to bring her total to eleven Olympic medals. The 27-year-old finished second in floor exercise to Rebeca Andrade, but took home three gold medals in vault, all-around, and team competitions.
As the Olympics in Paris came to a conclusion, so did Biles’ gymnastics season for 2024. She and the majority of American gymnasts usually wrap off their season after the Olympic Games or World Championships, however there will be some international meetings.
But Biles will be on display for the Athleta Presents Gold Over America Tour or the 2024 Gold Over America Tour. The tour begins on September 16 at Oceanside’s Frontwave Arena and ends on November 3 at Detroit’s Little Caesars Arena.
Following the Tokyo Olympics, the tour began in 2021 and features a dynamic blend of high-energy choreography and gymnastics prowess.In 2024, Simone Biles will be heading the cast, which will feature men for the first time. In 2021, she was instrumental in the event’s promotion and planning.
Only in the 2025 season is it anticipated that Biles would be visible on gymnastics venues. She would probably start her season in the U.S. Classic and then try to make history again at the Indonesian 2025 World Championships.
Simone Biles desires for Rebeca Andrade to take over.
Olympic Gymnasts Simone Biles (R) and Rebeca Andrade (L) at the 2024 Paris Olympics:
Simone Biles declared herself “weary” of competing against Rebeca Andrade after the latter defeated her in the first two revolutions of the all-around competition at the Paris Olympics.
“I no longer wish to compete with Rebeca. I’m worn out. She is far too near. It really made me on my toes and brought out the best athlete in me since I’ve never had an athlete that close. I’m thrilled and honoured to compete against her, but people, I’m starting to feel uneasy. “I was stressed out and I don’t enjoy that sensation,” she remarked at a press conference.
The 27-year-old also added that she would let Andrade win all of the upcoming all-around titles.
“It’s good. I’m gonna hand it to her now – she can have the rest,” Biles added.
However, Rebeca Andrade, who is younger than Biles, has hinted at retirement. While there has been speculation around Biles’ retirement as well, she has expressed optimism about the L.A. 2028 Olympics.
