Superstar American gymnast Simone Biles is making her third trip to the Olympic Games at Paris 2024, looking to add to her seven total Olympic medals won at Rio 2016 and Tokyo 2020.
Biles will compete for the first time in Paris in the women’s qualifying on Sunday, 28 July. Artistic gymnastics competition continues through to 5 August.
For the 27-year-old, who owns four Olympic titles and 23 World crowns, Paris offers a chance at redemption.
Three years ago at the Tokyo 2020 Games, held in the summer of 2021, Biles withdrew from the women's team final and four subsequent individual finals to prioritise her mental health as she dealt with a case of the 'twisties,' where a gymnast's body and mind fall out of sync.
She returned to competition in the balance beam final, where she won bronze.
“Our Tokyo performances weren't the best. We weren't under the best circ*mstances either,” Biles said at the U.S. trials. “But, I feel like we have a lot of weight on our shoulders to go out there and prove that we're better athletes, we're more mature, we're smarter, we're more consistent.”
Below is Biles’ complete schedule at Paris 2024 and how to watch all the active live.
Simone Biles' full schedule at Paris 2024 Olympics
Biles will make her debut in Paris on Sunday 28 July with the women’s qualifying round. She and the rest of Team USA are set for the second subdivision of five.
Her performances there will determine which finals she will compete in.
If history is any indicator, Biles will likely have a busy schedule. At the Tokyo Games, she advanced to all five individual finals, while in Rio she made all but the uneven bars.
The top eight teams advance to the team final, while the individual finals see 24 through to the all-around and eight on each apparatus with no more than two per country.
All times local to Paris.
