Simone Biles' Gold Over America tour stopped at the Prudential Center in New Jersey on October 1, 2024, where the 11-time Olympic medalist stunned the crowd with a flawless somersault on the floor. One of the slow-motion maneuvers especially attracted the attention of social fans.
Biles launched the Gold Over America tour after her 2020 Tokyo Olympics withdrawal owing to 'twisties'. She aimed to normalize conversations around athletes' mental health, inspire young girls with her journey, and let other gymnasts embrace their individuality while performing on the tour. In 2024, the seven-time Olympic gold medalist embarked on the second tour edition after her Paris Games success.
After nine successful tour stops, the gymnasts stopped at the Prudential Center in New Jersey. Simone Biles displayed a clean floor routine in a white-and-blue ombre leotard with her fellow gymnasts lined up on either side of the stage, as posted on X by Prudential Center.

But in the gym, I'm like...." she said in the promotional clip of 'Simone Biles Rising' season two.
