The 11-time Olympic medallist headlines the 30-city arena tour that’s set to crisscross the United States
American gymnastics star Simone Biles is training for her next big act: the 30-city arena tour, aptly named the ‘Gold Over America Tour ‘ (GOAT).
Biles will be joined by her Olympic gold medal-winning teammates Jade Carey, Jordan Chiles, and Hezly Rivera, along with U.S. Olympic team bronze medallists Paul Juda, Brody Malone, and Frederick Richard for the 2024 edition.
The show promises to be “a high-energy and high-flying, gymnastics-meets-pop-concert spectacle,” according to release from the GOAT.
Other gymnasts set to participate include Olympic alternate Joscelyn Roberson, Tokyo 2020 Olympians Shane Wiskus and Yul Molduaer, NCAA standout Trinity Thomas and world medallists Ellie Black of Canada and Melanie de Jesus dos Santos of France.
Legendary UCLA gymnastics coach Valorie Kondos Field is the supervising choreographer for the show.
“I’m so honored and excited to welcome these incredible and courageous athletes to the tour for an amazing and unforgettable journey,” says Biles. “This tour is not only about amazing performances, but connecting with communities and building up the confidence of the next generation of athletes. We… can’t wait to take a victory lap around the U.S. and celebrate with all the fans this fall.”
Biles has lots to celebrate after soaring to four Olympic medals at Paris 2024, including team, all-around and vault golds and a silver medal on the floor exercise. That haul brought her overall Olympic medal collection to 11.
Gold Over America 2024 runs from 16 September to 3 November, kicking off in southern California’s Oceanside and wrapping up in Detroit, Michigan.
