Olympics

Simone Biles held off Brazil’s Rebeca Andrade for all-around Olympics gymnastics gold. At 27, she’s the oldest Olympic women’s gymnastics champ since 1952. Biles isn't the only women in the all-around final. Luisa Blanco, a Texas native and recent Alabama graduate, made the final while competing for Colombia.

The Alabama State Games were founded in 1982 at the request of the United States Olympic Committee. Each year the games host thousands of athletes through a collection of 20+ sports. Over $364,000 scholarships have been given out over the years at the opening ceremony and this year $50,000 will be awarded.

Athletes of all ages and abilities can register for the 41st Alabama State Games, happening June 7-9 across Birmingham and Jefferson County. The Alabama Sports Festival (ASF) Foundation is a non-profit that hosts the State Games.
