Simone Biles opened up about inspiring the next generation through the Gold Over America Tour

She highlighted how gymnastics met concert in this tour and called it a 'blessing' to put on a show like this and execute fan interactions between them.
"It's big that it puts gymnastics on a stage like we've never seen before it's gymnastics meets a concert but as you pointed out the fan interaction is so important as well yes 100% because they've supported us on our careers for so long," said Simone Biles. "So, it's such a blessing that we're able to put on a show like this to give back even if it's just a little bit of inspiration and waving to them and um just so that again they feel seen and heard."
She added:
"But, it really is so exciting because whenever we're at the Olympics, we're really really stressed we have a job to do but here it's all fun that's all we're here to do is to have fun, inspire the Next Generation, tell our stories and hopefully leave everyone with a piece of gold."
