Simone Biles is back!!
Simone Is Returning to Competition in August!!
Seven-time Olympic medalist Simone Biles is set to return to competition at the U.S. Classic in August, organizers announced.
- Why it matters: It will be her first competition since she stepped away from gymnastics after the 2020 Tokyo Olympics to focus on her mental health, Axios’ Jacob Knutson writes.
The big picture: The 26-year-old Biles has been a vocal advocate for athletes to find space to protect their mental health, after her experience in Japan put the issue front and center, AP notes.
- Biles’ return to the sport she dominated for nearly a decade suggests an athlete who wants to go out on her own terms.
- Biles is tied with Shannon Miller for the most Olympic medals won by an American female gymnast.
What to watch: At the U.S. Classic, Biles will be joined by Tokyo Games’ defending all-around champion Sunisa Lee.
