During an appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, the Olympian spoke out about her Gold Over America Tour, where gymnastics superstars will be performing in arenas throughout the United States.

“It’s basically a gymnastics spectacular of Olympians,” the gymnast told host Jimmy Fallon. “We have a couple international elites joining us as well that have gone to the Olympics. So, think pop-style concert with gymnastics. It’s going to be so much fun.”

“We have the guys on our tour this time and they actually medaled, so congrats to them,” Biles continued as the audience laughed.

“No that’s great!” Biles repeatedly clarified, as Fallon said, “That’s not a dig.”

“First time since 2008,” she said.

“We’re saying we’re happy for you,” Fallon said. “They finally medaled. We’re fine. Really great,” he teased with a slow clap.

Biles laughed, “They’re gonna kill me.”

Simone Biles’ comment on the U.S. men’s Olympics gymnastics team has backfired.

During an appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, the Olympian spoke out about her Gold Over America Tour, where gymnastics superstars will be performing in arenas throughout the United States.

“It’s basically a gymnastics spectacular of Olympians,” the gymnast told host Jimmy Fallon. “We have a couple international elites joining us as well that have gone to the Olympics. So, think pop-style concert with gymnastics. It’s going to be so much fun.”

Newsweek reached out to the U.S. men’s Olympics gymnastics team via email for comment.

Asher Hong, Paul Juda, Brody Malone, Stephen Nedoroscik and Frederick Richard took home bronze at the 2024 Paris Olympics, the first Olympic medal for the U.S. men’s team in 16 years.
“It was just the greatest moment of my life, I think,” Nedoroscik told reporters at the time. “[I’m] so happy to have been there.”

“It feels amazing,” Richard said after their performance. “We had some highs and lows. You know, qualification wasn’t perfect. But I had no doubt in this team—and it showed today.”

Biles also saw success at the Paris games, earning four medals—three gold and one silver—bringing her total Olympics medal count to 11. The gymnast also has 30 world championship medals and is considered the most decorated gymnast in history.

During her chat with Fallon, the Ohio native revealed her “most nervous” moment at the Paris Olympics didn’t occur while competing.

Biles carried the flag at the closing ceremony and handed it off to Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part Two star Tom Cruise.

“I’m always tripping, falling down stairs… I was like, ‘Okay, I have to hand the flag off. Like, don’t mess it up, don’t mess it up.’ I was terrified.”

As for whether fans will get to see Biles competing in another Olympics, she played coy.

“Everybody wants to know this question. I’m like, ‘Can’t I live?'”

“No! No! You cannot. You have to answer,” Fallon joked.

“First, I’m getting older. Like 27 is a little bit old for a gymnast… outside of gym, oh yeah, I’m young. Tequila, no hangover. But in the gym, I am old.”

When the comedian said “it’s just so fun to root for you,” Biles came up with an idea.
