The Biles-led spectacle will also feature her counterparts like Jade Carey, Jordan Chiles, Hezly Rivera, Katelyn Ohashi, Peng-Peng Lee, Paul Juda, Brody Malone, Fred Richard, Joscelyn Roberson, Shane Wiskus, and Yul Moldauer, among others.

The inaugural edition of the tour will be held at Oceanside's Frontwave Arena on September 16 and 17.

Simone Biles expressed her excitement for the Gold Over America Tour during her recent interview with People, where she stated that she was most thrilled for the fans as they will get to witness both male and female gymnasts performing under the same roof.

"I’m most excited for the fans to see the best of both worlds,” she said. “Men’s and women’s gymnastics in one arena, at the same exact time, sharing the same floor."

Following the Paris Olympics, Biles took some time off. The American icon was recently seen at the U.S. Open. Reflecting on her time away from the sport, Biles stated that she needed this break.

"I’m very excited about the tour and I think having this time off helped me prepare mentally and physically," she added.

During her performance, Biles will be showcasing her signature double layouts and the Biles I, a unique skill on the floor.
