Simone Biles will attempt to pull off a performance like no other - and clinch her fifth gold medal - as she returns to the Olympic stage four years after shocking the world by withdrawing from one of her final events during the 2020 Tokyo Games.
Biles made headlines during the 2020 competition when she discovered she had the "twisties" and withdrew from the team final and individual all-around to focus on her mental health. She bounced back before competition ended, though, and walked away with a bronze medal in the balance beam to go along with silver in the team event.
After a two-year break, Biles, 27, proved to be just as powerful in her 2023 return to the international stage as she was at her first Olympics in 2016. She won the individual all-around title at the gymnastics world championships in October and sailed through the U.S. Olympic trials last month.
Gymnastics competition will start as early as Saturday, but when will the legend herself compete?
Here's the complete competition schedule to see Biles and her fellow Team USA women's gymnasts:
