Simone Biles is currently performing as part of the Gold Over America Tour, with the most recent show taking place in New Jersey's Prudential Center. The 27-year-old mesmerized the audience with her performance.
Biles won three gold medals and a silver medal at the Paris Olympics. She won her first gold medal in the team all-around event, where she and her team, which included Jordan Chiles, Suni Lee, Jade Carey, and Hezly Rivera, registered a score of 11.296 points, defeating Italy and Brazil, who scored 165.494 and 164.49, respectively.
Following this, the gymnast won her other gold medals in the individual all-around event, where she secured 59.132 points; and the third gold medal was in the vault, where Biles attained 15.300 points. She won the silver medal in the floo exercise, where she scored 14.133, and was trounced by Rebeca Andrade.
A few days after the Paris Olympics, the 27-year-old launched the second edition of the Gold Over America Tour, whose first stop was the Oceanside. This idea by Biles was first executed after the Tokyo Olympics to celebrate all the women gymnasts who compete at the Olympics. However, this time both men and women gymnasts are a part of the event.
Along with Biles, Chiles, Carey, Rivera, Joscelyn Roberson, Paul Juda, Fred Richard, Shane Wiskus, Yul Moldauer, and Brody Malone are also a part of the G.O.A.T team. This team recently performed in Jersey, Newark, on October 1, 2024, where the crowd at the Prudential Center was impressed by Simone Biles' magnificent somersaults on the floor.
The Prudential Center shared a video that shared a glimpse of the gymnasts' impressive skills, which she showcased in Jersey, and wrote:
"The 🐐 has arrived in Jersey!🥇 "
