Simone Biles has had a busy schedule at the 2024 Paris Olympics.
The American gymnast picked up three Olympic gold medals in the team final, all-around competition and vault final. And although she still has two more opportunities to add to her hardware collection at the Paris Games, she will get a much needed break from the competition on Sunday.
The uneven bars final kicks off on Sunday, but Biles is not in the field. Here's a look at the 27-year-old's remaining schedule at the 2024 Paris Games, including why she's not competing in the uneven bars final and when she competes next.

Is Simone Biles competing today?
The uneven bars event final is being held Sunday, but Biles will not be competing. Despite winning her second gold medal in the women's all-around competition — where a gymnast competes on all four apparatuses — the uneven bars are not Biles' strong suit. During the qualification round last week, Biles finished in ninth place in the uneven bars, barely missing out on the uneven bars final on Sunday.

Biles, however, will likely be cheering on her teammate. Suni Lee, who earned a gold alongside Biles in the team final, in addition to a bronze medal in the all-around final, qualified for the uneven bars final on Sunday.

When does Simone Biles compete next?

How did Simone Biles fare in the all-around final?
Biles competed in the all-around final Thursday. She won her second gold medal of the Paris Games and her second career all-around gold. She also won in the 2016 Rio Olympics.
How did Simone Biles fare in the vault final?
Biles won a gold medal in the vault final on Saturday, her third gold medal of the Paris Games. Biles successfully landed her her signature Yurchenko double pike vault, which helped carry her to gold over Brazil's Rebeca Andrade. American Jade Carey won bronze. Biles won the Olympic vault title at Rio in 2016 and became just the second woman to win vault gold twice after Czechoslovakia's Vera Caslavska did it in 1964 and 1968.
What did Simone Biles say about the 2028 Olympics?
Biles left the door open to competing at the Los Angeles Games in 2028. Or, rather, she didn’t close it.
“Never say never. The next Olympics is at home, so you just never know,” she said Saturday night, before starting to laugh. “But I am getting really old.”
