The USA women's gymnastics team is placed in subdivision 2 for the official competition of the Paris Olympics as well, and will start their qualification on the balance beam. Simone Biles will lead the charge on all four apparatus, starting with the balance beam. Below is the complete schedule of the seven-time Olympic medalist:

How to watch Simone Biles in action at Paris Olympics 2024?
Simone Biles’ podium training sessions will be streamed live on Peacock from 5:40 a.m., July 25. The official events will be streamed on both Peacock and NBC.
Who are Simone Biles' toughest opponents at Paris Olympics 2024?
For the all-around gold medal, Biles will face competition from Brazil's Rebeca Andrade and one of the other USA gymnasts who qualify for the all-around finals. It's likely going to be Suni Lee.
On the floor exercise, the four-time Olympic champion is dominant but Jade Carey is the reigning champion in the event and could put up a fight for gold. In the vault competition, Lee and Andrade will again be her two biggest competitors.
Biles is also likely going to qualify for the balance beam finals, and fighting with her for gold will likely be Suni Lee, Rebecca Andrade, and Aleah Finnegan. Uneven bars are the weakest of the four events for the 27-year-old, and if she does manage to qualify for the finals, she will have to be at her absolute best to stand a chance for a medal in the event.
Is Jonathan Owens coming to Paris to watch Biles in action?
Yes, Simone Biles' husband Jonathan Owens has been granted an exemption from the Chicago Bears' training camp from July 27 to August 03. The NFL safety will be able to attend Biles' qualification, women's team final, all-around finals, and vault finals as well, which are scheduled on 3rd August, the same day his leave ends.
