Is Simone Biles the greatest gymnast of all time, or is there someone better?

Simone Biles and Team USA gymnastics stars are back and bringing the golden energy with them! After crushing it at the Paris Olympics, she took some well-deserved time off, admitting that she’d barely set foot in a gym since then. But now, she’s ready to dive back into the sport she loves and do it in style—with the second edition of the Gold Over America Tour. The first edition of the tour after the 2021 Tokyo Olympics was a massive hit; this time, it’s even bigger!

Simone’s not just bringing back the ladies; she’s invited the guys too! Male gymnasts will join the tour, giving their side of the sport some much-needed love and attention. And they’re already stepping outside the box—there’s already buzz about them balancing on beams, which isn’t even in their usual lineup. So where, when, and how can you witness the serious star power of the GOAT (Gold Over America Tour)?

With 30 cities on the lineup, Simone Biles is about to turn the country into a gymnastics playground as she headlines the Athleta Presents Gold Over America Tour. Kicking off on September 17th in Oceanside, California, at the Frontwave Arena, Biles and her crew of incredible gymnasts will be flipping and tumbling their way through some major cities. And the energy? Off the charts! On September 20th, they’ll light up the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles—a pretty fitting stop, considering LA’s gearing up to host the 2028 Olympics.

But it doesn’t stop there. The whirlwind continues, with Cleveland, Ohio, getting a dose of Simone on October 27th. Then, just five days later, she’s back in the Buckeye State, this time in Cincinnati on November 2nd. And as if that wasn’t enough, the very next day, they’ll be taking Detroit by storm—wrapping up the tour on November 3rd.
