Attention to all the world’s elite female gymnasts: Simone Biles has made her comeback. After two years away from competition due to mental health issues, the 26-year-old made a triumphant return at the US Classic on Saturday, easily dominating the event, according to a report by USA Today. Biles won by an incredible margin of 5 points—the New York Times noting that this was roughly the same difference separating the gymnasts in second and 17th place. Biles expressed her satisfaction, saying, “I feel really good about where I am right now, mentally and physically.” She added, “I still believe there are some aspects of my routines that need improvement, but for my first meet back, I would say it went pretty well. I’m genuinely surprised.”
Biles withdrew from events at the 2021 Olympics in Japan due to the dreaded “twisties”—a loss of orientation during maneuvers involving twisting motions. However, she seems to have conquered this challenge. The US Classic, typically a low-key warm-up for bigger competitions, garnered significant attention this year due to Biles’ comeback. All reports highlight that Biles completed her routine with the incredibly difficult Yurchenko double pike, a vault that had never been attempted or competed before she introduced it in 2021. It is worth mentioning that Biles got married during her two-year break from competition.
