The absence had lasted since the 2019 World Cups, where she added five gold medals, but
Simone Biles
finally returns to the competition.
After 18 months, the four-time Olympic champion will return to action during the US Classic, which takes place on May 22 in Indianapolis.
The return of Biles, 24, is the best incentive for the fans, who this summer will be able to enjoy with the American at the Tokyo Games.
Just two weeks ago, the highly anticipated return to the Tokyo World Cup had to be canceled for health reasons.
Meanwhile, the great gymnastics diva will still be able to fine-tune her set-up at the national championships, scheduled for the first weekend of June in Fort Worth (Texas), and the Olympic trials, scheduled at the end of June in St. Louis.
New arrivals
In recent months, Biles has honed his preparation with several novelties that threaten to reverse the canons of this sport.
Among other elements, in the colt he could risk a jump until now reserved only for the men's competition, with a 'Yurchenko' combined with a 'Yang Wei'.
Some of these issues could already be resolved at the US Classic, the setting chosen by
Chellsie Memmel
, a silver medalist at the Beijing Games, to return to gymnastics after almost nine years away.
Other stars expected in Indianapolis will be
Laurie Hernandez
, a double Olympic medalist, and
Morgan Hurd
, a 2017 world champion.
