The Gold Over America Tour , also called Athleta Presents Gold Over America Tour , was a 2021 gymnastics -themed touring show headlined by Simone Biles .
In late 2019, Biles announced her plans to launch an all-woman tour that would be a mixture of sports and entertainment intended to inspire the next generation of female athletes.[ 1] Slated to take place after the 2020 Summer Olympic Games , the tour was to mount shows in 35 cities.
Former UCLA gymnast Katelyn Ohashi was the first cast member announced,[ 2] followed by other high-profile gymnasts, including 2020 Olympians Jade Carey , Jordan Chiles , Grace McCallum , and MyKayla Skinner ;[ 3] and fan-favorites Morgan Hurd , Laurie Hernandez (who also provided the pre-recorded narration for the opening act), and Chellsie Memmel .[ 4]
The tour ran from September to November 2021, played 34 shows in 32 cities (three dates were cancelled), sold 182,000 tickets, and grossed $19.3 million.[ 5] One news outlet called it a "gymnastics-meets-pop-concert spectacular".[ 6]
A second 30-city tour began in fall 2024.[ 7]
