Simone Biles is as good as gold, which is why you’ll want to make sure to watch Team USA gymnastics at the Tokyo Olympics. And after skipping the Opening Ceremony — Biles shared on Instagram that all of the standing (US goes on near the last, due to alphabetical organization) the day before they compete was a concern — the men and women’s teams will begin qualifications this weekend.
Up first, though, the Men’s Team Qualification is the main course for Saturday, so we’ve got all the info you need to watch their efforts live. Yes, you can watch the tape-delayed versions later, but where’s the fun in witnessing high-flying vaults, daring beam maneuvers, pommel horse action and jaw-dropping floor exercise routines hours after they happened?
The Artistic Gymnastics competition is one of the most highly-anticipated events at every Summer Olympics. And the 2020 Tokyo edition, delayed to 2021 due to the pandemic, is no different. American fans have every reason to cheer, since Biles is a heavy favorite to win the all-around gold medal and also lead the women’s team to the top of the podium.
The athletes competing on the women’s side include Biles, Jade Carey, Jordan Chiles, Sunisa Lee, Grace McCallum and MyKayla Skinner. The men’s team consists of Brody Malone, Sam Mikulak, Yul Moldauer, Shane Wiskus and Alec Yoder.
Here’s everything you need to watch Team USA gymnastics at the Tokyo Olympics, including the full schedule of gymnastics events.
How to watch the Team USA gymnastics from anywhere in the world
The Olympics is a global event and can be viewed in almost every country on Earth. However, if you’re not in your home country and can’t watch the Team USA gymnastics events with your usual services — or you want to watch in your native language — you’re not out of luck.
With a virtual private network, or VPN, you can appear to be surfing the web from your home town (or somewhere that blackouts won’t hit), and access the same streaming services you already paid for. They’re totally legal, inexpensive and easy to use.
Not sure which VPN is right for you? We’ve tested many different services and our pick for the best VPN overall is ExpressVPN. It offers superb speeds and excellent customer service. But you’ve got other VPN options as well.
We think speed, security and simplicity make ExpressVPN second to none. During our tests, we saw fast connection times, and we’re impressed by the service’s ability to access more than 3,000 services spread out across 160 locations in 94 countries. View Deal
Using a VPN is incredibly simple.
1. Install the VPN of your choice. As we’ve said, ExpressVPN is our favorite.
2. Choose the location you wish to connect to in the VPN app. For instance if you’re in the U.S. and want to view a U.K. service, you’d select U.K. from the list.
3. Sit back and enjoy the action. Head to your website or streaming service of choice and tune in.
