Simone Biles is currently on the last leg of her Gold Over America Tour, and she and her fellow gymnasts are making the most of their time together. The group recently autographed their old photos, leading to some hilarious reactions.

This is the second iteration of the Biles-led GOAT Tour. The first took place back in 2021 after the Tokyo Olympics and was a major success. The original tour featured only female gymnasts and played 34 shows in 32 cities. It sold 182,000 tickets and grossed over $19 million.

For 2024, Biles revamped her tour to include members of the U.S. men's gymnastics team, including Brody Malone, Paul Juda, Fred Richard, Shane Wiskus, Donnell Whittenburg, and Yul Moldauer. The tour began on September 16 and will conclude with its last show on November 3 in Detroit, Michigan.

Recently, Simone Biles and her fellow GOAT Tour gymnasts had some fun as they signed old pictures of themselves. Biles' photo included her rolling her eyes, to which the Olympic champion responded,

“That's tragic, but that's usually where my eyes are, majority of the time, in the back of my head. 90% of the time I have an eye roll.”

Biles' Olympic teammate Jordan Chiles also signed an old photo, alongside Jade Carey and Fred Richard. Watch the video below:

Simone Biles was absolutely spectacular at the Paris Olympics, but one particular thing that stood out about her performance was the fact that she could reach a height of 12 feet on her triple-double pass on the floor. This discovery led to a debate about whether the gymnast would be able to dunk a basketball, and the Goat Tour gymnasts recently weighed in on the same.

Olympians Jordan Chiles, Hezly Rivera, Fred Richard, and Yul Moldauer, Casmir Schmidt, were amongst those that said yes, while Olympic team alternate Joscelyn Roberson disagreed.

Simone Biles herself admitted she thinks she wouldn't be able to dunk a basketball, saying,

“No, I need a spring floor.”

The 27-year-old went on to add that on a spring floor she would need to do a roundoff back handspring to be able to successfully dunk a basketball.

Overall, 2024 has been incredible for Simone Biles. The year saw the American win four Olympic medals, three of which were gold, and further establish herself as one of the best gymnasts of all time.
