Simone Biles at the US Championship
Simone Biles is getting set to participate in the 2024 Paris Olympics if everything goes to plan.
The 2024 Paris Olympics are getting closer and closer. We’re exactly one month away from the start of the Games, and we already know a lot of the main stars who will be in France for the event. But we don’t yet know if Simone Biles will be there.
USA Gymnastics will hold their trials starting on Thursday, with the men and women competing to see who will make it to Paris. Although Biles is the heavy favorite to earn the sole automatic berth, which goes to the highest scorer across the two days of competition, anything can happen.
Biles’ participation at the trials drew some intrigue due to her, and the other gymnasts, not getting paid to participate. Not only that, U.S. athletes don’t get paid to compete in the Olympics at all; although winning medals does earn them prize money.
How does Simone Biles earn money?
The athletes are allowed to get money from sponsorships, though, which is easily the biggest source of income for Biles. Biles has nine major sponsors and has worked with various other brands throughout the years. She also has side business ventures, including a couple of companies that sell leotards.
The 2024 Summer Olympics kick off on Friday, July 26 and run until Sunday, August 11. Artistic gymnastics events will be held at the Bercy Arena, which holds 15,000
