With the 2024 Olympics<\/a> well under way, U.S. gymnast Simone Biles<\/strong><\/a> has already racked up more than one gold medal<\/a>. While she helped her team win the gold in women\u2019s all-around finals, there\u2019s one event Simone likely won\u2019t be competing in \u2013 the uneven bars.\n<\/p>\n Simone didn\u2019t qualify to compete in the individual event for uneven bars that will take place on August 4, 2024. She ended up coming in ninth place and missed qualifying for the event by tenths of a point. However, she\u2019ll be on deck as a \u201creserve athlete\u201d for the competition. Simone\u2019s teammate, Suni Lee<\/strong><\/a>, was the only U.S. gymnast who qualified for the individual uneven bars.<\/p>\n Despite Simone not competing in the individual uneven bars event, there are still plenty of moments left for her to take home another medal. Simone, who carries the title of most decorated gymnast in the world, qualified for three other individual events. She\u2019ll take the floor for the women\u2019s vault final, the women\u2019s balance beam final and the women\u2019s floor exercise final.<\/p>\n On August 3, 2024, fans can watch Simone compete in the women\u2019s vault final at 10:20 a.m. EST. She\u2019ll take the floor once again two days later on August 5, 2024, as she competes in the women\u2019s balance beam final at 6:36 a.m. EST, and then for the women\u2019s floor exercise final at 8:20 a.m. EST.<\/p>\n Simone and her teammates, Suni, Jade Carey<\/strong>, Jordan Chiles<\/strong><\/a> and Hezly Rivera<\/strong>, were given an adorable nickname<\/a> for their group in 2024. While several people assumed it was because the women\u2019s gymnastics team took home the gold medal on July 30, 2024, Simone actually took to social media to give folks some clarity.<\/p>\n \u201cOkay on the real though, the official team name is golden girls,\u201d Simone wrote via X<\/a> shortly after taking the mat. \u201c(because oldest olympic team).\u201d<\/p>\n The Texas native added, \u201cS\/O to Cecile,\u201d giving coach Cecile Landi<\/strong> credit for coming up with the moniker.<\/p>\n The following day, Simone reshared the news on Instagram<\/a> when she posted photos of the previous night\u2019s medal ceremony.<\/p>\n \u201cOfficial team name just dropped: GOLDEN GIRLS,\u201d Simone wrote.<\/p>\n The world was in awe while watching the U.S. women\u2019s gymnastics team compete in Paris and many noticed how well the women worked together. However, Simone admitted that she had a slightly uncomfortable chat with her teammates the night before the event.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019ve never done that before. It was really good; it was really needed,\u201d Simone told Olympics.com<\/a> on July 31, 2024. \u201cI think we were all full of nerves and we weren\u2019t communicating with each other. That was the nature of the conversation: Just letting each other know that we can lean on each other because we\u2019ve been there. It\u2019s really hard to be doing what we were doing, and it\u2019s easier if we can lean on each other.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\nWhy Isn\u2019t Simone Biles Competing in Uneven Bars at the 2024 Olympics?<\/h2>\n
