Simone Biles and Team USA Women’s Gymnastics will make their 2024 Paris Olympics debut on Sunday, and the world will be watching.
Biles will embark on a quest for a second Olympic all-around title when she competes in all four events during qualifying rounds on Sunday following her sudden exit four years ago in Beijing after coming down with the “twisties.”
The 27-year-old will serve as the anchor, or final competitor on balance beam, floor exercise and vault. She will go next-to-last for the U.S. on uneven bars, where she has submitted an original skill to the International Gymnastics Federation.
If Biles successfully completes the maneuver during qualifying, it will be entered into the sport’s Code of Points, where it will carry her name. The superstar already has five elements named for her in the code.
If you’re eagerly awaiting to see the team in action, but aren’t sure when to tune in, don’t worry. We have everything you need to know, including a preview of what you can expect, when to watch and more.
