The national coach is going straight back to work but is happy that Simone gets to spend time with her family and have a vacation for herself. Extended vacation isn’t on the cards right now since the Olympian will go on a tour with Team USA and NCAA gymnasts.

Simone Biles and her teammates will go on a tour called, ‘the Gold over America tour’. Biles is organizing this tour independently to celebrate female athletes in America. They will visit 35 cities across the United States.

“I love the sport of gymnastics and wanted to help create a show that celebrates the pure joy of performing,” Biles said.

Paris Olympics 2024

In Tokyo, reporters frequently asked Simone if she would compete in the Olympics again. “I just need to process this whole thing first,” Simone Biles said in an interview in Tokyo. She, however, has kept the door open for Paris 2024.

Her coaches are French, and she’s wanted to compete in Paris to honor her coaches, which is why she hasn’t yet denied or confirmed whether she will take part in the Paris 2024 Olympics.
