When does Simone Biles compete in the 2024 Paris Olympics? Dates, times, and schedule
The American superstar returns to the Olympics looking to add more medals to her resume and become one of the main names in the event once again.
In the Olympics, there will be athletes who will try to record the performance of a lifetime, others, whose star status will make them favorites in their respective sports, and others who are considered superstars. And without a doubt, Simone Biles belongs to the last group.
The American will compete in her third Games after making a huge impact in the previous two, winning seven total Olympic medals between Rio 2016 and Tokyo 2020.
The four-time Olympic gold medalist is considered the best gymnast ever, Besides her Olympic triumphs, she possesses 30 world championship medals.
In Paris, Biles, 27, will be looking to prove she’s in great shape and ready for more glory. In the 2020 Tokyo Games, she withdrew from the women’s team final and four individual finals. She decided to prioritize her mental health, as she dealt with a ‘twistie’ case, which in gymnastics translates into a mental block that doesn’t allow the synchronization between the athlete’s body and mind. After that, she returned to competition in the balance beam final, winning the bronze.
When will gymnastics icon Simone Biles compete in the Paris Olympics?
Biles will debut in the Games on Sunday 28, with the women’s qualifying round.
If she can repeat her past performances in the Olympics, Biles will likely compete in at least five of the six days of gymnastics competition.
She could feature in all six days if she makes it to the uneven bars final, considered Biles’ “weakest” event. However, she made the final in the event at the last four major international events she has participated in and won the title at the 2024 U.S. championships.
