The Gold Over America Tour is more of an athletic dance performance than a typical gymnastics meet. The athletes will tumble, twist and flip their way through stunning choreography set to an upbeat pop soundtrack. 

 “This tour is not only about amazing performances but connecting with communities and building up the confidence of the next generation of athletes,” Biles said in a press release. 

Biles will be joined by 14 talented male and female athletes, including Jordan Chiles, Jade Carey, Fred Richard, Brody Malone, Paul Juda, Joscelyn Roberson, Katelyn Ohashi, Peng-Peng Lee, Mélanie Johanna De Jesus Dos Santos, Casimir Schmidt, Asher Hong, Hezly Rivera, Shane Wiskus and Yul Moldauer.
