We hadn’t seen her on a floor since the summer of 2021, and the Tokyo Olympics. The American Gymnastics Federation announces this Wednesday the very likely return of legend Simone Biles to competition. The quadruple Olympic champion from Rio (Brazil) in 2016 is registered to participate in the “US Classic”, a national competition organized in the United States. This will be held on August 4 and 5.
“Registration for the US Classic is mandatory to participate in the US Classic, but it does not guarantee participation”, specifies the Federation. One year from the Paris Games, the hope of seeing Simone Biles line up for the third time in this competition is reborn. So far, the athlete has not mentioned this possibility, as she has barely mentioned her return to training on social networks.
Coming soon to U.S. Classic…

His compatriot Sunisa Lee, Olympic all-around champion at the last Olympic Games, who had devoted her last two years to NCAA competitions, the university championship events in the United States, is also one of the gymnasts announced for this event.
Simone Biles had put her career on hold since the Tokyo Games, where she had given up most events at the last minute, citing her mental health. Despite everything, she had won the bronze medal on the beam.
