The post-Olympic Gold Over America Tour will feature Simone Biles once again competing in front of fans.
The 35-city exhibition will kick off in Tucson, Arizona on Sept. 21 and incorporate both gymnastics and dance elements. Former UCLA gymnast Katelyn Ohashi will also lead a segment detailing the importance of taking care of your mental health.
It’s something that is at the forefront of gymnastics after Biles withdrew from Olympic competition due to a mental block.
“I wouldn’t change anything for the world,” Biles said a few days ago. “I gave an outlet for athletes to speak up about their mental health and their well-being and learn that you can put yourself [as a person] first before the athlete.”
Now Biles will be back in action, reuniting with her Olympic teammates — including the new additions of Grace McCallum and Jade Carey.
