Simone Biles is taking steady steps on her return to gymnastics. It was recently announced that the American had registered for U.S. Classic set to be held in August. Additionally, in her recent activity on social media, Biles revealed that she was back in U.S. camp.

Biles is participating in her first U.S. National camp since competing in the Tokyo Olympics in 2021. The American gymnast has been on a break from pro gymnastics since the conclusion of the Tokyo Olympics due to mental health reasons.

The 26-year-old recently posted a photo on her Instagram story alongside her fellow American gymnast Zoe Miller. She captioned her photo:

USA Gymnastics recently announced that Biles and several other top gymnasts had registered for U.S. Classic, set to be held from August 4 to 5 at the NOW Arena in suburban Chicago.

The U.S. camp runs through July 12 and will provide Biles the opportunity to work with National staff and also receive feedback from internationally rated judges.

The feeback provided by the national staff and judges would be useful for Simone Biles as she hadn't competed under the new rules that were implemented after the Tokyo Olympics in 2021. According to the Olympics website, these new rules might require the American gymnast to make changes to her routine.

Simone Biles' comeback has left her fans in a state of great excitement and these regular updates would only increase their anticipation to watch Biles compete at the U.S. Classic.
