When is Simone Biles competing at the Olympics today?
Gymnastics legend Simone Biles — perhaps the biggest star at the 2024 Paris Olympics (sorry, Pommel Horse Guy) — is set to compete for gold on Tuesday, a welcome return to the world's biggest stage for perhaps the best to ever do it.
Biles is scheduled to compete in the women's gymnastics team final, which begins at 12:15 p.m. ET. If you tune in, expect to see lots of Biles. She's expected to compete in the all-around, vault, floor, and beam events.
This is a big deal for Biles to return for the team final. She withdrew from the last Olympics in Tokyo just before the team finals after suffering an injury and having a case of the "twisties," which are effectively the yips for gymnastics. It has been an amazing journey of growth for Biles. She went from a mental block preventing her from doing what she does best all the way back to the world's biggest stage on Tuesday.
