How to Watch Simone Biles: Tokyo Olympics Live Stream, TV Channel, Start Time

U.S. gymnast Simone Biles will look to continue her historic run on the world's biggest stage at the Tokyo Olympics. Biles, who has been undefeated in all-around competition since 2013, sits four medals away from being the world's most decorated gymnast. 

Biles, 24, has won 30 world and Olympic medals, a record seven American all-around titles and a record of five world all-around titles. She currently sits as the third most decorated gymnast in the world behind Vitaly Scherbo (33 medals) and Larisa Latynina (32). 

In this year's Summer Games, Biles has the opportunity to become the first woman to win back-to-back Olympic all-around titles since Vera Caslavska in 1968. 

While the Tokyo Olympics were delayed due to the coronavirus pandemic, Biles told Sports Illustrated's Stephanie Apstein that she found "her voice" over the past year, standing up for a number of causes while still managing to perfect her craft.
