She also won the uneven bars title at the 2024 U.S. championships.
Here’s a look at when Biles is likely to compete in Paris. NBC and Peacock will carry the action live and will re-air it in primetime in the U.S.

When is gymnastics qualifying at Paris Olympics?
Women's qualifying begins Sunday, July 28 at 3:30 a.m. ET (11:40 a.m. Paris time) with subdivision 1.
How does team qualifying work? Every gymnast, whether they’re competing as part of a team or as an individual, has to go through qualifying. How many events they do depends both on whether they’re trying to make the all-around final and, if their country is one of the 12 in the team competition, where they’re needed most.
What will Biles compete on in qualifying? Biles will, of course, be doing all four events in qualifying. She’s the reigning world all-around champion and she has the top U.S. score on every event except uneven bars. But sometimes there, too.
When is Olympic gymnastics team final Paris 2024?
The women's team final is on Tuesday, July 30, at 12:15 p.m. ET (6:15 p.m. Paris time).
What to know: The U.S. women will have to really screw up to not win the gold. The Russians have been their biggest competition over the last decade — Russia won gold in Tokyo and was runner-up to the Americans at the 2019 and 2018 world championships — and they won’t be in Paris.
How does scoring work in the team final? The scoring format for team finals requires countries to count the scores of all three gymnasts on each event, which can leave you vulnerable if someone falls or has a poor routine. But the U.S. has so much depth and difficulty that it would need to botch two, possibly three events, and another team would have to be perfect to bump the Americans from the top of the podium.
At the 2023 world championships, the U.S. women lost Josc Roberson to an ankle injury during warmups, lowering their scoring potential by 1.4 points, and had to count a fall on balance beam. They still won by more than two points.
When is gymnastics all-around final at Paris Olympics?
The women's all-around final is on Thursday, Aug. 1, at 12:15 p.m. ET (6:15 p.m. Paris time).
What to know: Biles will be heavily favored to become only the third woman, and first since 1968, to win the Olympic all-around title twice. Larysa Latynina did it in 1956 and 1960 and Vera Caslavska did it in 1964 and ’68. Biles has not lost an all-around competition since 2013, and she won her sixth title at last year’s world championships.
When is gymnastics vault final at Paris Olympics?
The women's vault final is on Saturday, Aug. 3 at 10:20 a.m. ET (4:20 p.m. Paris time).
What to know: Biles already has an Olympic gold medal on vault, winning the title at the Rio Games in 2016. She was the silver medalist on vault at the 2023 world championships, finishing 0.201 behind Brazil’s Rebeca Andrade. But Biles’ score included a half-point deduction for having coach Laurent Landi stand on the landing mat as a safety precaution during her Yurchenko double pike. With Landi no longer doing that, Biles should have the edge mathematically.
When is gymnastics uneven bars final at Paris Olympics?
The women's uneven bars final is Sunday, Aug. 4 at 9:40 a.m. ET (3:40 p.m. Paris time).
What to know: This is the one final that’s a question mark for Biles. She won the uneven bars title at the U.S. championships and was second to Suni Lee at the Olympic trials. But countries are limited to two gymnasts in each final, and Hezly Rivera outscored Biles on bars on the second night of trials.
“For so many years, everybody told me I’m not good at bars and I thought I wasn’t good at bars,” Biles said at nationals. “But it’s not the worst. I can swing bars. I can do a routine. It is gonna put me on a world podium again? Who knows?”
When is gymnastics balance beam final at Paris Olympics?
The women's balance beam final is Monday, Aug. 5, at 6:36 a.m. ET (12:36 p.m. Paris time).
What to know: Biles is the reigning world champion on beam and has bronze medals on the event from the last two Olympics. In Tokyo, beam was where Biles made her return after being forced out of most of the Olympics with “the twisties,” which caused her to lose track of where she was in the air and put her physical safety at risk. She reworked her routine to remove twisting elements and finished behind Guan Chenchen and Tang Xijing of China.
When is gymnastics floor exercise final at Paris Olympics?
The women's floor exercise final is Monday, Aug. 5, at 10:20 a.m. ET (2:20 p.m. Paris time).
What to know: Biles will be as big a favorite here as she is in the all-around. She’s won the floor title at every world championships she’s been to — that’s six, for those who are counting — and was the gold medalist on floor at the Rio Olympics. She has nearly a full-point advantage in difficulty, giving her a massive head start on the competition.
