Watch gymnastics at Olympics 2024 for one of the most breathtaking events at the Paris Games. When it comes to the women’s competition, there is only one name on everybody’s lips: Simone Biles. Below we have all the information on how to watch gymnastics at the 2024 Paris Olympics Game from anywhere in the world with details on worldwide TV channels, broadcasters and free streams.

Monday is the final day of gymnastics at Paris 2024 so it's great we are going to see some of the absolute superstars of the sport one more time. And that means Simone Biles. She is going to be competing in both the Balance Beam and the Floor Exercise finals today. She already has three gold medals to her name at these Games and could well walk away with two more. As ever, competition will come in the form of Brazilian Rebeca Andrade, who is also both finals and fellow American Sunisa Lee, who is going again in the balance beam. The Chinese gymnasts are also very strong on these apparatus.

The action starts with men's parallel bars. Chinese competitors Zhou Jingyuan and Zhang Boheng could be in medal contention here. Ukrainian Illia Kovtun, who just missed out on a medal in the Floor Exercise competition, should also be in the mix. The male gymnasts will also be competing in the horizontal bar final in which we will see Zhang Boheng once again, who has already won silver in the Individual All Around.
