Simone Biles takes a victory lap in high-flying Gold Over America Tour
The gymnastics GOAT, with 11 Olympic medals, has kicked off her 30-city national tour.
LOS ANGELES — When Simone Biles won her first world championship in 2013, her agent at the time asked her a seminal question: What did she hope to accomplish in the sport of gymnastics?
Olympic gold medals may have come up, but one of the wish list items Biles remembers most fondly was a long-held desire to have her own tour across the U.S.
Like many of her goals, it has come to fruition in spectacular fashion.
In the decade since she first pondered her aspirations in the sport, Biles has won 11 Olympic medals and 30 world championship medals, making her the most decorated gymnast in history. After her tour de force showing at the Paris Olympics this summer, she is making the rounds to 30 American cities to connect and celebrate with the fans who cheered her to greatness from home.
It’s called the Gold Over America Tour, which can be abbreviated, appropriately, as “GOAT.”
