Simone Biles is returning to competition, and the records she’s set could grow even more insurmountable.
Simone Biles is returning to competition.
The 26-year-old gymnast, who last competed in 2021 at the Tokyo Olympics, will be part of the field at the U.S. Classic in early August outside Chicago, USA Gymnastics announced Wednesday. The seven-time Olympic medalist withdrew from multiple events in Tokyo for her mental health but still won a bronze medal on balance beam and cheered her teammates on as they won silver in the team event.
Biles is arguably the greatest gymnast of all time and one of the greatest Olympians in history. Her sheer dominance over the sport can be expressed only in numbers.
That’s the number of gold medals Biles won at the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro.
