Everything you need to know to watch gymnastics at Paris Olympics

Artistic gymnastics has been a permanent fixture of the Olympics since the first Games of the modern era in 1896, and it now stands as one of the most anticipated events at the 2024 Paris Olympics. 

The artistic gymnastics competition in Paris will kick off Saturday and conclude Aug. 5. Between the men’s and women’s contests, there will be 14 medal events, including individual apparatus finals, all-around finals and team finals. The top 24 gymnasts in the all-around and the top eight in each apparatus, with a maximum of two gymnasts per country, will qualify for each final.

Simone Biles, the most decorated gymnast of all time, is the clear favorite to win the women’s all-around competition – she has not lost one since 2013 – as well as the floor, vault and beam contests. The 27-year-old Team USA superstar will be joined by a star-studded team of familiar faces in reigning Olympic all-around champion Suni Lee, Jordan Chiles and Jade Carey, all who won Olympic medals in Tokyo. This experienced quartet will also be reinforced by 16-year-old Hezly Rivera, the 2023 U.S. junior champion. In the absence of a Russian team, the team gold is Team USA’s to lose. 

Team USA will send five men to Paris: Brody Malone, Fred Richard, Asher Hong, Paul Juda and Stephen Nedoroscik. The team will look to end a 16-year Olympic medal drought in the team final, with Malone and Richard standing as Team USA’s top contenders for individual medals.
