Simone Biles returns to gymnastics practice as Olympics hero gears up for arena tour
Simone Biles has returned to gymnastics training during rehearsals for the ‘Gold Over America Tour’ this week after her Olympic dominance in Paris over a month ago. The tour begins next Monday in Oceanside, California and continues through a show in Detroit on November 3. Biles will be joined by every other member of Team USA women’s gymnastics squad except for Suni Lee. All four men to represent the United States in gymnastics will also be on the tour except for ‘Pommel Horse Guy’ Stephen Nedoroscik, who is competing on ‘Dancing With the Stars’. In preparation for the tour, Biles got to show off a unique skill she never could in a real gymnastics competition — quick hands and nimble feet resembling the pommel horse. Simone Biles showed off her skills during training for the ‘Gold Over America Tour’ this weekBiles won four Olympic medals in Paris as speculation ramps up if she will compete in 2028Pommel horse is one of the four gymnastics disciplines only males participate in alongside the parallel bars, rings, and high bar. Female athletes exclusively perform on the uneven bars and balance beam. Everyone competes on the vault and the floor exercise. Biles mounts a mushroom top, where she swings her legs around while keeping her hands on the apparatus. The 11-time Olympics medalist ended to the cheers of everyone watching while training themselves. Biles won three gold medals and a silver medal in Paris and has not ruled out competing at 31 at the Los Angeles games in 2028. Should Biles Olympic career not be over, she would become the second-eldest woman to ever represent Team USA gymnastics at the Olympics. For now, that monumental decision appears years away.
