Gymnastics in Olympics 2024: Everything on the draw for the Paris event featuring Simone Biles
With the highly anticipated Paris Olympics on the way, FIG, the international governing body for gymnastics, recently announced the draw for the gymnastics events.
The event will feature phenomenal gymnasts, including Simone Biles and Hashimoto Daiki. Biles, who withdrew from the previous Olympics, will return to the global stage at the Bercy Arena in Paris, France.
She returned to international gymnastics at the 2023 World Championships in Antwerp, Belgium. The legendary gymnast clinched four golds and one silver medal.
The Japanese artistic gymnast Daiki Hashimoto, who secured two golds and one silver at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, will look to defend his title in the French capital. He displayed his remarkable gymnastics prowess at the 2023 World Championships after winning three gold medals in team, all-around, and horizontal bar.
Twelve men's and women's teams will compete in the qualification rounds, with only the top eight teams from the qualification rounds securing their spots for the finals to be held on July 29 and 30.
The USA women's national team, which clinched the team medals in the 2008, 2012, 2016, and 2020 editions of the Olympics, will compete to maintain their years-long winning streak. The American squad will face the Chinese women's national gymnastics team, which boasts similar achievements to theirs.
