Simone Biles recently expressed her motivation to kick off the Gold Over America Tour.

In an interview with Elle, Biles highlighted her desire to connect with and inspire young girls, acknowledging that not everyone can attend major gymnastics competitions. She stated that by bringing the tour directly to the audience, she aims to make gymnastics more accessible and enjoyable.

“One of the reasons I wanted to create this experience was to connect with and empower young girls,” Biles said. “Not everyone can travel to major competitions to see us, so we’re bringing gymnastics to them and we’re making it fun.”

At the 2024 Paris Games, Biles secured four medals, including three golds in the team, individual all-around, and vault events, and one silver medal in the floor event. With her latest victory, she became the most decorated American Olympic gymnast.
