Some of the world’s elite athletes are swapping the vault, pommel horse and the uneven bars for the stage floor in a dramatic fusion of sports and entertainment.
Led by 11-time Olympic medalist Simone Biles, a team featuring some of the biggest names in American gymnastics have embarked on a tour around the United States for a “high-energy and high-flying, gymnastics-meets-pop-concert spectacle.” The Gold Over America Tour sees its performers display an array of improbable aerial feats and the athletic ability that has taken several members of the group to glory on the Olympic stage.
The tour will stop in cities such as Denver, Chicago, Houston, Atlanta and Orlando and conclude in Detroit on November 3. The lineup features many of Biles’ national teammates, such as Jordan Chiles – who is currently appealing a decision that cost her a bronze medal at the Paris Olympics – Jade Carey, Hezly Rivera and Joscelyn Roberson. “We don’t have to get judged on every event!” Chiles told CNN’s Wire when asked about the biggest difference between the tour and competition.
