Fans eagerly anticipating the performance of gymnastics superstar Simone Biles at the upcoming Paris Olympics will be delighted to know that she will have multiple opportunities to showcase her skills. Biles is expected to compete in at least five of the six days of gymnastics events, with a chance to participate in all six if she qualifies for the uneven bars final.
Despite the uneven bars being considered her "worst" event, Biles has consistently performed well in it at major international competitions. She recently emerged as the champion in the uneven bars at the 2024 U.S. championships, further elevating her expectations for the upcoming Olympics.
Here are the dates and times when Biles is likely to compete in Paris:
- Opening the competition with team qualifying, Biles will take the stage on Sunday, July 28, at 3:30 a.m. ET.
- The women's team final is scheduled for Tuesday, July 30, commencing at 12:15 p.m. ET.
- The highly anticipated women's all-around final will take place on Thursday, Aug. 1, starting at 12:15 p.m. ET.
- Biles will compete in the women's vault final on Saturday, Aug. 3, at 10:20 a.m. ET.
- The women's uneven bars final is set for Sunday, Aug. 4, at 9:40 a.m. ET.
- Concluding her Olympic journey, Biles will participate in the women's balance beam final (6:36 a.m. ET) and floor exercise final (8:20 a.m. ET) on Monday, Aug. 5.
For fans in the United States, NBC and Peacock will provide live coverage of the events, with prime-time re-airs for those unable to watch the competitions live.
Additionally, Biles will be participating in the qualifying round on Sunday, July 28, at 3:30 a.m. ET. Each gymnast, regardless of their team or individual status, must go through qualifying, with the number of events they participate in depending on their goals and the needs of their country's team.
The women's team final is expected to be dominated by the U.S. team, as their main contenders, the Russian team, will not be competing in Paris. The U.S. women have shown their resilience and depth in past competitions, with victory often secured even in the face of setbacks.
In the all-around final on Aug. 1, Biles is heavily favored to claim the title for the second time in her career. Her incredible track record and dominance in all-around competitions, including winning a world championship in 2023, only add to the excitement surrounding her performance.
Biles already holds an Olympic gold medal on the vault from the 2016 Rio Games. With her unparalleled skills and improvements in her routines, she is expected to be a strong contender in the vault final, which will take place on Aug. 3.
The uneven bars final poses a question mark for Biles, as she faces tough competition from other gymnasts. Although she has proven her abilities on this apparatus, the final lineup is limited to two gymnasts per country, adding an element of uncertainty to her participation.
As the reigning world champion on the balance beam, Biles will be aiming for another victory in this event on Aug. 5. Despite her challenges at the Tokyo Olympics, Biles returned to the competition on the balance beam and clinched a bronze medal, showcasing her perseverance and talent.
Finally, in the floor exercise final on the same day, Biles is expected to dominate the field. With her unmatched difficulty and numerous world championship and Olympic titles to her name, Biles holds a significant advantage in this event.
The Paris Olympics 2024 will undoubtedly be an exciting stage for Simone Biles as she aims to further solidify her status as one of the greatest gymnasts of all time. Fans worldwide will be eagerly watching her performances throughout the gymnastics events, eagerly anticipating her display of skill, talent, and grace on the Olympic stage.
