Ticket prices to the U.S. Classic have skyrocketed since Simone Biles announced her return to gymnastics competition.
Biles hasn’t competed since the Tokyo Olympics in 2021, when she dropped out over a case of “the twisties”—a mental block that describes losing awareness of the body midair. She withdrew from team finals and did not compete in individual all-around, floor exercise, beam, uneven bars or vault. The team went on to win the silver Olympic medal, and Biles used the experience to advocate for mental health awareness in athletes.
She won four gold medals at the Rio De Janeiro Olympics in 2016 and two medals in Tokyo—the silver team medal and a bronze in balance beam.Who will make the Olympic team. In addition to Biles, three-time Olympic gold medalist Gabby Douglas announced last month she'll return to gymnastics in 2024 for the first time since competing in the 2016 Olympics. If she makes it to the Olympics, 27-year-old Douglas would be the oldest woman to qualify for the U.S. gymnastics team.
