Olympic champion Simone Biles made her first return to a gymnastics competition Saturday since the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.
Biles, 26, is slated to participate in the uneven bars at the United States Classic at NOW Arena in Hoffman Estates, Illinois. It remains to be seen if she will compete in the 2024 Paris Olympics.Seven-time Olympic medallist @Simone_Biles showed the world she's ready for her return today during practice at the U.S. Classic in Chicago.Read more about her #CoreClassic debut 👇 pic.twitter.
"She told me she really wanted to give herself a chance to do it," Biles's coach Cecile Landi said of her most recent competition in a video posted on X, formerly known as Twitter."After her wedding, we saw a shift in her training and commitment to being back." Biles has won seven gold medals in her career, making her total medal count 32, including a Presidential Medal of Freedom, awarded her in 2022 by President Joe Biden.Should Biles decide to compete in 2024, she is likely to be the oldest gymnast there, as during the 2020 games McKayla Skinner was the oldest at 24. Skinner won a single silver medal.
The U.S. Championships, a feeder event into the Olympics, will take place later this month in San Jose, California.
