Background

In late 2019, Simone Biles announced her plans to launch a post-Olympic all-woman tour that would be a mixture of sports and entertainment intended to inspire the next generation of female athletes. UCLA gymnast Katelyn Ohashi was the first cast member announced that would join the tour.[1] The tour featured exhibitions in 35 cities[2] and had been described as a "gymnastics-meets-pop-concert spectacular".[3] Numerous high-profile gymnasts joined the tour, including 2020 Olympians Jade Carey, Jordan Chiles, Grace McCallum, and MyKayla Skinner[4] and fan-favorites Morgan Hurd, Laurie Hernandez (who also provided the pre-recorded narration for the opening act), and Chellsie Memmel.[5]
