Simone Biles is returning to the Olympic stage in Paris this weekend as the most decorated gymnast of all time and just the fourth American female artistic gymnast to compete at three Olympic Games.
From July 28 to August 5, viewers can watch Biles and the rest of Team USA compete in women’s artistic gymnastics events such as the uneven bars, vault, balance beam and floor exercise at the Bercy Arena in Paris.
The 37-time World Champion is returning to the international sporting competition after pulling out of several events at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics to focus on her mental health as she dealt with the "twisties." Biles has since expressed that she is ready to compete after taking a two-year break before returning to the sport in 2023 and racking up medals at the U.S. Classic, U.S. National Championships and World Championships.
Here's everything to know about how to watch Biles and other gymnasts compete at the 2024 Paris Olympics.

While Biles is the oldest and most decorated gymnast on Team USA, she certainly isn’t competing for the gold medal alone. Alongside Biles are Sunisa “Suni” Lee, Jade Carey and Jordan Chiles, who are all returning for another shot at winning gold.
< -p> The veteran athletes are joined by 16-year-old Hezly Rivera from New Jersey — the youngest athlete on Team USA across all sports to compete in Paris. Joscelyn Roberson and Leanne Wong are also traveling to Paris as the team's alternates.
Lee and Carey are defending their women’s all-around and floor exercise gold medals, respectively. Lee also won a bronze medal for uneven bars and Biles won a bronze medal for the balance beam event after withdrawing from the all-around competition.
Team USA won silver in the team event at the Tokyo Games, after winning gold in the same event at the 2016 Rio De Janeiro Games.
The U.S. women’s gymnastics qualifications will take place July 28 at 5:40 a.m. EST. The medal events will start on July 30 and end on August 5.
Biles is expected to compete in all four events — vault, beam, uneven bars and floor exercise — during qualifications as the reigning world all-around champion with the top U.S. score in every event except the uneven bars.
