Simone Biles’s Gold Over America Tour is coming to streaming.

For the unfamiliar, the Gold Over America Tour—G.O.A.T.; get it?—was a gymnastics-meets-pop music spectacle where Biles and other gymnasts performed their iconic routines set to high-energy music. Gymnasts who joined Biles on tour included Jade Carey, Jordan Chiles, Grace McCallum, MyKayla Skinner, Laurie Hernandez, Katelyn Ohashi, Morgan Hurd, Shilese Jones, Chellsie Memmel, Melanie De Jesus dos Santos, Ellie Black, and Nia Dennis.

The in-person tour ran from September 21 to November 7, and it will debut on streaming via Stellar on December 4 at 1 p.m. PT/4 p.m. ET. (It will only show at this time.) The Gold Over America Tou is presented by Athleta, and tickets for the one-time-only streaming event can be purchased here

We caught up with Biles and Chiles about the tour, gymnastics, and more. Read on, below.

As you look back on the tour, how are you feeling? What have you learned from this experience?

Simone Biles: What I’ve learned from this experience is everybody is unique and beautiful in their own ways, and we each have something different to offer. That’s what makes this show so amazing and so special.

Jordan Chiles: We all have that little piece of gold in us that will be carried throughout our whole lifespan.

So many young athletes and fans attended the show.

Biles: In a lot of the shows, we’ve had some people in the front row that have just gone ballistic when we’ve come out, that have been screaming. They’ve been so into the show and into our accomplishments; it’s just been a beautiful moment that we’ve had to share with those fans. This is why we do it; this is the passion we have. They’re our daily reminders.

Chiles: Besides the excitement, we’ve had a couple people just sobbing because they’re so excited to see us. That definitely is heartwarming because you know you’re doing something to change their life, and it’s definitely a huge thing just to be able to understand that. That’s what I’ve enjoyed the most, is seeing that.

When you were a young girl, what would it have meant to you to see the G.O.A.T tour? 

Biles: It would have meant everything, especially the message that we’re relaying to the kids and to the audience. It’s something that’s a great takeaway. That’s something we wish we had when we were younger, to know these athletes are going through some of the same struggles. But they still navigate them and come out on top, and they share a piece of information and they’re still our inspirations.

Chiles: If younger me would be able to see the people I look up to, the idols, my heroes, knowing the struggles they’ve gone through, that it’s okay for me to understand. They understand what they’re going through, and I can understand the same way.

What’s next for you? What are you most looking forward to about life after the tour?

Biles: Life after the tour definitely equals quality time with family and with friends. I’m gonna go home and get some rest and go on vacation for Thanksgiving, so I’m super stoked about that.

Chiles: Definitely I’m going on a vacation. I’m doing a little sisters trip, so that’s going to be fun. It’ll be my first time ever doing it, because the last time I did it, I was too young or I was out of town, so, just being able to do that. Enjoying family time. Then, going off to school.
