Simone Biles is coming to Athens, Georgia.

On Monday, Georgia's gymnastics program announced on X (formerly Twitter) that one of the world's greatest Olympic athletes will be in attendance for its first home meet on Jan. 17, 2025, against Boise State.

Biles' Team USA gymnastics coach Cecile Canqueteau-Landi is entering her first season as the Bulldogs' co-head coach.

Biles' trip to Athens will be her second visit to the state of Georgia in the last few months, as she and her fellow Team USA gymnasts performed at Gas South Arena in Duluth, Georgia on Oct. 13 as part of the Gold Over America Tour.

Biles is coming off a historic performance at the 2024 Paris Olympics, where she won four medals (three gold) to become the most decorated Olympic gymnast. Her three gold medals came in the team finalindividula all-around final andthe individual vault final. She hasn't made any decision on whether she will compete in the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics yet according to USA Today's Nancy Armour.

Canqueteau-Landi was named Georgia's co-head coach with Ryan Roberts back on April 25. Due to her obligations to her club team and the Olympics, Canqueteau-Landi did not officially begin her duties as Georgia's co-head coach until after the Paris Games.

Georgia's first meet of the season will come at the Denver Quad Meet on Sunday, Jan. 12 against Denver, Missouri and LIU. The Bulldogs are coming off a 7-12 season last year, where they made it to the NCAA Regionals.
