Before the commencement of the Gold Over America tour, Simone Biles took to Instagram and shared a customized white hoodie with 'GOAT' imprinted in gold with her fans. Biles earned three golds and a silver at the 2024 Paris Olympics, extending her Olympic medal tally to 11.
The 26-year-old had a wobbly stint at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, having withdrawn from the competition because of 'twisties'. She won her sixth World title in 2023 after marking her return from a two-year hiatus. In 2024, she won a record-standing ninth all-around National and seventh US Classic titles, leading up to the 2024 Paris Olympics.
In her third Olympic edition in the French capital, Biles won gold in the all-around, team, vault and silver in the floor event. The string of success earned her the title of the most decorated gymnast in history. Since then, she has kept her fans at the edge of their seats with Gold Over America tour updates.
