Simone Biles is heading back into competition for the first time in nearly two years.
The Olympic gold medalist, 26, will participate in the U.S. Classic, which takes place on Saturday, August 5, near Chicago. USA Gymnastics announced on Wednesday, June 28, that Biles is part of the women’s field for the event, which will be held at the NOW Arena in the suburb Hoffman Estates.
The event will mark Biles’ first appearance in competition since July 2021, when she withdrew from the team final at the Tokyo Olympics after developing “the twisties,” which is a phenomenon gymnasts experience when they lose control of their bodies while spinning through the air.
“I didn’t have a bad performance & quit,” Biles wrote via Instagram after her exit made headlines. “I’ve had plenty of bad performances throughout my career and finished the competition. I simply got so lost [that] my safety was at risk as well as a team medal.”
Biles made the decision to exit the team final after her vault rotation, during which she slipped and landed on her knees. Her teammates — Suni Lee, Jordan Chiles and Grace McCallum — went on to win the silver medal in the team all-around competition.
Biles later withdrew from the individual all-around, floor exercise, vault and uneven bars finals but competed in the balance beam final, winning bronze. Lee, 20, won gold in the individual all-around and bronze in the uneven bars, while Jade Carey took home the gold for her floor exercise and MyKayla Skinner won silver for the vault.
Last year, Biles hinted that she wasn’t ready to hang up her leotard despite the difficulties she faced in Tokyo.
“Technically, if you would ask anybody in the U.S. that looks at an American gymnast, I’m probably already aged out, but I really

Chris Willman Senior Music Writer and Chief Music Critic In case anyone is tempted to think of country music as a one-man phenomenon at present with Morgan Wallen’s seemingly indomitable runs atop multiple charts, Luke Combs has come along to remind everyone that this town is big enough for the both of ’em. They’re now forming a two-man roadblock at the top of the Billboard Hot 100, as, between them, country owns the top two spots on that all-genre charts for the first time in 42 years. Wallen’s smash “Last Night” remains on top of the Hot 100 — no news there, since this is the song’s 14th week at No. 1. But it is a fresh development to have Combs’ cover of Tracy Chapman’s “Fast Car” cruising close up behind it, moving up one spot to No. 2. It’s the first time the genre has claimed Nos. 1-2 on Billboard’s primary chart since March 1981, when Eddie Rabbitt’s “I Love a Rainy Night” and Dolly Parton’s “9 to 5” managed the same crossover-success feat.

Harry’s claims in his book “Spare” as well as his 2020 move to California with his wife, Meghan Markle.Christopher Andersen, author of “The King,” alleges that the Prince of Wales, 41, is still fuming over Harry’s 400-page memoir.“William is still simmering with resentment over ‘Megxit,’ not to mention Harry’s unflattering portrait of him in ‘Spare,’” the royal expert claimed to Fox News recently.Andersen went on to note what the Duke of Sussex, 38, had penned about William, reiterating that Harry portrayed him as his “arch-nemesis.”In the book, Harry also alleged that he was left bruised after William flung him to the floor following a fight they had two months before he and Markle, 41, left the royal family.The Duke of Cambridge reportedly called the former “Suits” actress “difficult,” “rude” and “abrasive” at the time.Harry then fired back that he was only trying to combat the negative press the couple had endured.“Harry is still obviously upset that William was given a free ride because he is the heir – that William got away scot-free with doing many of the same things Harry was excoriated for,” Andersen claimed. “William is doing a marvelous job of compartmentalization.
