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)?
