Simone Biles shares 'bittersweet' end of GOAT Tour as she expresses 'endless gratitude' to fans

DALLAS, TEXAS: Following months of touring the nation and displaying her renowned gymnastic talents, Simone Biles has concluded her "GOAT Tour", culminating in a poignant and memorable experience. 

The Olympic gold medalist, often celebrated as the greatest gymnast ever, concluded her tour with a touching message for her supporters, sharing her pride in the journey and a poignant sense of farewell.

Simone Biles expresses 'endless gratitude' for supporters

In an Instagram post that chronicled the tour's highlights, which included fellow Olympic gold medalists Jordan Chiles and Hezly Rivera, Biles shared a heartfelt message about her "journey" this year.

“7 weeks, countless memories, and endless gratitude. Thank you to everyone who came out and supported this journey after the success we had in Paris 🎉 Your energy and love fuel everything I do. Forever thankful, forever inspired.  STAY GOLDEN,” the seven-time Olympic gold medalist captioned the post on Monday, November 18.

Biles has chronicled each phase of the tour, capturing backstage moments, photographs with her Team USA colleagues, and the numerous visits from her spouse, Jonathan Owens of the Chicago Bears.

The Gold Over America Tour concluded earlier this month on November 3 in Detroit. Following the tour's end, the 27-year-old Olympian shared a collection of photos capturing the moments from the tour and also posted images of herself in tears, describing the final show as "bittersweet."

Simone Biles leaves future in limbo after GOAT Tour

At the beginning of her tour in September, Biles expressed excitement after taking a brief break post-Paris Olympics. However, she has not disclosed her future plans, including whether she will continue in gymnastics to pursue a spot in the 2028 Olympics in Los Angeles.

Following her gold medal victory in the vault final at the 2024 Paris Olympics, Biles was noncommittal regarding her plans for Los Angeles.

"This is my last, definitely Yurchenko double pike [vault]. I mean I kind of nailed that one. So never say never," she told PEOPLE. "The home Games — the next Olympics is at home, so you just never know. But I am getting really old."

Biles' husband has expressed his support for whatever decision she makes.

“If she feels like it is time to focus on life... because when you are locked in, you do have to sacrifice a lot and you do miss a lot," Owens told PEOPLE in August.

“That's the one thing that she would just have to figure out for herself. And like I said, man, I'm here to support her a thousand percent and whatever she decides to do,” he added.

Fans can look forward to seeing Biles on television soon, as she has been confirmed as a presenter for the 2024 CMA Awards, which will be broadcast on Wednesday, November 20, on ABC.
