Olympian Simone Biles makes a triumphant return to gymnastic competition after two years, placing 1st at the Core Hydration Classic

In her first competitive event since 2021, legendary gymnast Simone Biles made a triumphant return, claiming first place in front of a packed house at the Core Hydration Classic Saturday. The gymnastics superstar scored a 14.0 on the uneven bars, a 14.8 on the balance beam, a 14.9 in the floor exercise and a remarkable 15.4 in the vault before a roaring crowd in Hoffman Estates, Illinois, just outside Chicago.

The Core Hydration Classic is the final opportunity for athletes to qualify for the national championships in San Jose, California, later this month. The world gymnastics championships are then scheduled to take place between September 30 and October 8 in Antwerp, Belgium. A sellout crowd on Saturday flocked to Hoffman Estates, where spectators were eager to not only see Biles’ much-anticipated comeback, but also the likes of returning Olympic gold medalist Sunisa Lee.
