The country’s top gymnasts will be in Fort Worth this weekend for the 2024 U.S. Gymnastics Championships. The annual event will see athletes vying not only for a national title but also to get one step closer towards a spot on the U.S. Olympic Team in Paris.
This year’s field will be headlined by two former Olympic champions, including 2016 champ Simone Biles, who is back in competition after dealing with mental health struggles after the 2020 Olympics. The woman who ended up winning the 2020 Olympic All-Around Title, Suni Lee, is also at this year’s nationals, after briefly pausing her elite gymnastics career to compete for Auburn on the collegiate circuit.
Want to watch Simone Biles at the U.S. Gymnastics Championships? The four-day competition will air live across NBC, CNBC and Peacock. A subscription to Peacock is just $5.99 a month and gets you a U.S. Gymnastics Championship livestream as well as on-demand replays of the competition.

Other women’s contenders include Olympic medalists Jade Carey and Jordan Chiles, plus two-time world medalist Shilese Jones. Gabby Douglas, the 2012 Olympic champ, pulled out of last month’s Core Hydration Classic, and was expected to be in the arena this weekend, but the athlete pulled out on Thursday, effectively ending her Olympic comeback.

The medalists and top athletes from the U.S. gymnastics nationals will be invited to the Olympic Team Trial, taking place June 27 to 30 in Minneapolis, where the U.S. Olympic team will be announced.
