GYMNASTICS

Everything we know so far about rythmic gymnastics at the 2024 Paris Olympic Games.

Earlier today we found another reason why Simone is such an inspiration, when young a gymnast had a chance run-in with one of her role models.

A former gymnastics coach was sentenced to 35 years in prison after he pleaded guilty to three counts of sexual assault of a child, authorities announced Wednesday.

Olympic gold medalist Simone Biles and 12 other Olympians and gymnasts will embark on a 35-city “Gold Over America Tour,” with a stop at Houston’s Toyota Center.

Gold medalist Simone Biles and other star gymnasts are testifying before the Senate Judiciary Committee for the investigation into Larry Nassar, the former USA Gymnastics doctor who was accused of sexually assaulting hundreds of girls and women.

As Texans take hold of more medals in Tokyo, we’re celebrating the greatest Olympians from our area who’ve come before. That includes hometown legend Jonathan Horton.

The final day of Olympic gymnastics competition is upon us. If you want to watch the much-anticipated final events, you’ll need to sacrifice some sleep because it kicks off at 3:00 a.m. Houston time.

Simone Biles will compete. That’s the word from Japan regarding the elite gymnast from Spring. After withdrawing from several Olympic events due to a condition dubbed the ‘twisties’, a resilient Biles appears to be ready to compete on the balance beam. All-around champ Sunisa Lee is also in the beam line-up very early Tuesday morning.

If you’re not in front of a television and don’t want to miss a minute of Olympic action, coverage can be streamed right from your computer or phone.

On your mark... get set... go!

Before the sun rises in Houston Sunday, Team USA gymnasts will be competing in the Olympics for individual medals in women’s vault and uneven bars and men’s floor exercise and pommel.

U.S. star gymnast Simone Biles has withdrawn from event finals for vault and the uneven bars at the Tokyo Olympics, Team USA said.

Before we look to what’s on the Olympic line-up on this Saturday night in Houston, let’s fast forward to early tomorrow morning. Expect to wake up to a lot of spoilers if you sleep through the next gymnastics events in Tokyo.

The Karolyi Ranch, a sprawling 1,687-acre property north of Houston that was once the summer training site for female Olympic gymnasts, has a new owner with potentially different interests than gold medals.

We’ll talk gymnastics, promise. PLUS track, because there’s a really fast Houstonian racing tonight. But first...

Before there was Simone Biles, there was Nastia Liukin.

Sunisa Lee became the fifth straight American woman to claim the Olympic title. After her big win, people took to social media to wish the gymnast congratulations.

For anyone who’s waiting until the Games air in primetime Thursday night: Caution ahead! This article contains spoilers.

So many are shocked and asking how Simone Biles, the greatest gymnast of all time, could make it to the world stage, as she has on so many occasions in recent years, and all of a sudden have a mental block that prevents her from taking the gold medals so many of us wanted to see her earn here in Tokyo. Some are questioning if she truly is the G.O.A.T. if she is unable to just “suck it up” and “act” like the greatest. You know, “step-up” like a real champ. What is happening with Simone, in my opinion, has no bearing on her status as the greatest gymnast of all time. Her record verifies that fact-- no need to argue. What she reportedly is dealing with is very real and is not something that can be readily controlled, if at all.

Simone Biles is still the goat even if she doesn’t participate in gymnastics ever again. (But, let’s us pray that is not the case.)

The biggest shock of the Olympic Games remains Simone Biles leaving the team competition. This morning, we learned she would not compete in the individual All-Around events taking place Thursday in Tokyo either.

In a matter of nine hours, we felt the extreme joy of Olympic achievement and the heartache when things don’t go as expected.

Simone Biles came to Tokyo as the star of the U.S. Olympic movement and perhaps the Games themselves.

The Olympic Games are underway.

Five years ago the world got to know two remarkable athletes with more in common than a shared name. Simone Biles and Simone Manuel both list the Houston-area as home and they each dominated their sports at the 2016 Summer Olympics.

While the world will be watching Simone Biles in the Tokyo Olympics, some lucky Houston-area fans have the chance to witness her performance at the Games at her family’s gym. NBC is hosting an Olympics watch party in partnership with World Champions Centre in Spring.

More than 20,000 spectators expected to pack The Dome at America’s Center in St. Louis for the U.S. Olympic Women’s Gymnastics Trials.

It is hard to believe Simone Biles could perform any better.

The journey wasn’t planned for these Houston-area gymnasts said things are working out well.

An injury brings an end to an Olympic dream for one Houston area athlete on night one of the U.S. Olympic Trials for gymnastics.

Seven athletes with ties to Houston prepare for the start of the U.S. Olympic Gymnastic Trials in St. Louis.

Carey, 21, secured a nominative spot for the Tokyo Olympics last year, but still plans to compete at Olympic Trials next week.

She is amazing, phenomenal, and simply the best gymnast of all time.

With less than 100 days until the Tokyo Olympics, Houston’s own Simone Biles is keeping up a rigorous training schedule.

Nearly five years after the last games and last year’s delay amid the COVID-19 pandemic, Simone Biles and Team USA are just 100 days from the start of the Tokyo Olympics.

UCLA senior gymnast Nia Dennis performs a near-perfect floor routine with the stylings of Beyonce, Kendrick Lamar, and Missy Elliott last Saturday. Gymnast Nia Dennis, a college senior originally from Ohio, incorporated “black excellence” in her floor routine, adding artists such as Beyoncé, Kendrick Lamar and Missy Elliott for her minute-and-a-half performance. https://t.co/eDntwMpC4R — Simone Biles (@Simone_Biles) January 24, 2021The routine went viral and found its way to Olympic gold medalist and Houston-native Simone Biles, who cheered for the UCLA senior. How Nia Dennis' viral routine isn't the only part of this season that's exciting. — Ashley Ross (@Ashbrookeross) January 25, 2021How am I just discovering UCLA gymnastics & Nia Dennis?!?

Simone Biles joined Hoda Kotb on the TODAY Show to discuss her preparations for the Tokyo Olympics. Like many Olympians, Biles has extended her training by a year for the pandemic-delayed games. “We are in a pandemic so we’re kind of ready for whatever life throws at us at this point so we’re training as if and whatever happens, happens,” Biles said. Adapting to the threat of COVID-19, Biles recently had to shift to virtual training with cameras set up through the gym while her coach was in quarantine after being exposed to the coronavirus. With the Olympics underway amid a spike in cases, Biles is patiently waiting to hear the committee’s decisions regarding the event and safety protocols to be implemented.

A smiling Biles is seen being embraced by Owens in a photo that was on Biles Instagram account with the caption, Its just us.Owens, who is originally from St. Louis, is currently working for a roster spot at Texans training camp. He also posted a photo of him and Biles in an Instagram story. Biles is the countrys most-decorated gymnast with 30 medals and could become the most-decorated gymnast of all time when she returns to the Olympics in 2021 in Tokyo.
