Watch Simone Biles at the Olympics: Preview
Biles is having her renaissance moment at the Paris 2024 Olympics. After health issues forced the superstar gymnast to withdraw from the Tokyo Summer Games, she’s back and stronger than ever: flipping off the doubters with a Yurcheko double pike and sticking the landing. Now, Team US has their first gold in the bag, and Biles could take four more home. Catch every one of her final events with our guide below, and watch Simone Biles at the Olympics online from anywhere and for free.
The qualifying rounds made clear that Biles’ star is shining brighter than ever. And the coterie of A-list celebrities surrounding her on Sunday at Bercy Arena illuminated her every move, with Ariana Grande, Snoop Dogg, and Tom Cruise among the awestruck celebs. Yes, the Cruiser does his own stunts, but can he do a double somersault dismount with a double twist?
At the Women’s Team Final on Tuesday, there was no return of “the twisties” – a phenomenon where a gymnast’s mind and body fall out of sync – that plagued Biles in Tokyo and brought her Olympic dreams to a temporary standstill. She and teammates Sunisa Lee, Jordan Chiles, and Jade Carey absolutely smashed it. Team USA finished with a score of 171.296, a whole 6 points ahead of silver medallists Italy, and claimed their first gold of the Paris Olympics.
Biles has four more events to come. There’s the Individual All-Around Final on August 1, where she’ll compete alongside team member Sunisa Lee. Then, hoping to add to her stash of Olympic accolades, she’ll compete in the Women’s Vault Final on August 3, and the Balance Beam and Floor Exercise Finals on August 5, where she’ll showcase her powerful mastery of the gymnastic apparatus.
Don’t miss a second of this magnificent comeback. Catch all the action with the following guide, which details how to watch Simone Biles at the Olympics online and from anywhere in the world.
How to watch Simone Biles at the Olympics online FREE in the UK
UK viewers can be sure to watch Simone Biles at the Olympics and catch the biggest moments on BBC one and BBC iPlayer. Artistic gymnastic events run from Sunday, July 28 up until and including Monday, August 5.
While the BBC will air over 250 hours of Olympic coverage, Warner Brothers Discovery owns the European TV rights to the Olympics. That means you’re unlikely to find comprehensive coverage for each discipline. However, BBC One promises extensive reports from the Olympics for the majority of the day, though putting a pin in live coverage for the news.
The dates and times of Olympics BBC broadcasts can be found here.
And if you want to find online coverage of Simone Biles at the Olympics, BBC iPlayer allows UK viewers to stream all the action live and on-demand, in addition to providing a curated digital channel dubbed Olympics Extra. BBC iPlayer is compatible on a range of devices and, better still, it’s absolutely FREE to watch. To create a BBC account, all you need is an email address and a UK postcode (e.g. B1A 1AA), in addition to a valid TV licence.
