Simone Biles has had a busy schedule at the 2024 Paris Olympics.
The American gymnast picked up three Olympic gold medals in the team final, all-around competition and vault final. And although she still has two more opportunities to add to her hardware collection at the Paris Games, she will get a much needed break from the competition on Sunday.
The uneven bars final kicks off on Sunday, but Biles is not in the field. Here's a look at the 27-year-old's remaining schedule at the 2024 Paris Games, including why she's not competing in the uneven bars final and when she competes next.
The uneven bars event final is being held Sunday, but Biles will not be competing. Despite winning her second gold medal in the women's all-around competition — where a gymnast competes on all four apparatuses — the uneven bars are not Biles' strong suit. During the qualification round last week, Biles finished in ninth place in the uneven bars, barely missing out on the uneven bars final on Sunday.
Biles, however, will likely be cheering on her teammate. Suni Lee, who earned a gold alongside Biles in the team final, in addition to a bronze medal in the all-around final, qualified for the uneven bars final on Sunday.
The women's uneven bars final is Sunday, Aug. 4 at 9:40 a.m. ET at the Bercy Arena in Paris.
Biles is back on the mat Monday for a doubleheader. The women's balance beam final is Monday, Aug. 5, at 6:36 a.m. ET, followed by the women's floor exercise final on Monday, Aug. 5, at 8:20 a.m. ET.
Simone Biles' Redemption Tour in Paris: A Recap
Biles competed in the all-around final Thursday. She won her second gold medal of the Paris Games and her second career all-around gold. She also won in the 2016 Rio Olympics.
Biles won a gold medal in the vault final on Saturday, her third gold medal of the Paris Games. Biles successfully landed her her signature Yurchenko double pike vault, which helped carry her to gold over Brazil's Rebeca Andrade. American Jade Carey won bronze. Biles won the Olympic vault title at Rio in 2016 and became just the second woman to win vault gold twice after Czechoslovakia's Vera Caslavska did it in 1964 and 1968.
Biles left the door open to competing at the Los Angeles Games in 2028. Or, rather, she didn’t close it.
“Never say never. The next Olympics is at home, so you just never know,” she said Saturday night, before starting to laugh. “But I am getting really old.”
Simone Biles' Final Two Chances at Gold
Most recently, the 27-year-old gymnast won gold in the women's vault final on Saturday, marking her 7th gold medal and Olympic medal overall. Biles also picked up gold in the all-around and team events.
The gymnast has billed her tenure in Paris as a “redemption tour” -- three years after she withdrew from the Tokyo Games due to the “twisties,” changing the course of her career forever.
Biles will aim to add more hardware when she competes in the balance beam and floor exercise, though she'll face fierce competition -- including from one of her own teammates.
Simone Biles' Remaining Competition Schedule
Biles and fellow U.S. gymnast Suni Lee will find themselves in the same competition in the balance beam final. The two have been trading off highest scoring beam routines throughout the 2024 season- and this competition is bound to be a nail-biter. Biles took home the bronze medal on the balance beam in both 2016 and 2020. Lee, on the other hand, has not yet medaled in an Olympic balance beam final.
The balance beam final begins at 5:36 a.m. CT on Aug. 5. Streaming begins on E! at 4:45 a.m. CT and at 8:30 a.m. on NBC 5.
The floor exercise final will be the last event of the women’s gymnastics competition this Olympics. Biles and Team USA's Jordan Chiles have both qualified.
Biles won the floor exercise final at the 2016 Games, but had to pull out of the 2020 Games final, leaving room for USA's Jade Carey to take home gold. Carey missed the final in this year's Olympics after an uncharacteristic fall in qualifiers. It was later revealed she had been battling an illness during the Games.
After Carey's fall, Chiles scored high enough to clinch the second spot in the final. Chiles’ Beyonce-themed floor routine has been a consistent crowd pleaser throughout the Games so far.
Watch the floor exercise final at 7:20 a.m. CT on Aug. 5. Streaming begins on E! at 4:45 a.m. CT and at 8:30 a.m. on NBC 5.
The Final Curtain: Will Biles Cement Her Legacy?
Simone Biles has claimed three gold medals so far at the Paris Olympics, cementing her legacy as the greatest-ever American gymnast and one of the best athletes in world history.
And she's not done.
Biles' attention now turns to Monday's balance beam and floor finals. And if her performance in the individual all-around was any indication, we're in for a heck of a show.
Biles could add more medals to her already impressive 10, including seven gold. Regardless of her performance Monday, she's already in a tier of the all-time greats.
The next event for Biles will be the women's balance beam and floor finals on Monday, August 5 available live on NBC and Peacock. The events will stream live on NBCOlympics.com.
