Simone Biles, the most decorated gymnast of all time, is making her highly anticipated return to competition this weekend at the U.S. Classic. The event, taking place in Hoffman Estates, Illinois, serves as the last opportunity for athletes to qualify for the national championships in San Jose. Biles, 26, participated in a U.S. national team camp last month and impressed with her stellar performances, except in the uneven bars where she placed third. Despite taking a break from gymnastics since the Tokyo Olympics, Biles has been keeping herself busy, including tying the knot with NFL safety Jonathan Owens earlier this year. While she hasn’t revealed much about her comeback, Biles expressed her gratitude for the overwhelming support from her fans on social media. Her decision to return to the sport has been met with excitement and has boosted the morale of USA Gymnastics, which recently announced a historic partnership with Nike, marking a significant milestone in its recovery from the Larry Nassar scandal. Joining Biles at the U.S. Classic is Sunisa Lee, the all-around gold medalist from Tokyo, as well as other Tokyo medalists Jade Carey and Jordan Chiles. The competition will also feature rising stars Kayla DiCello and Skye Blakely, who aim to pave their way to the 2024 Paris Olympics. The U.S. Classic, now known as the Core Hydration Classic due to a new sponsorship, will be broadcast on CNBC and streamed on Peacock, with highlights airing on NBC. International viewers can catch the livestream on USA Gymnastics’ YouTube channel. So get ready to witness the extraordinary talent and resilience of these phenomenal athletes as they captivate the world once again.
