Preview for the U.S. Gymnastics Championship as Simone Biles continues her return to the sport

Simone Biles spent two years trying to distance herself from those strange days in Tokyo and all the outside noise that came along with it.
She dove into therapy and slowly returned to training.
Now she’s back competing at this weekend’s U.S. Championship, a more mature, married, 26-year-old version of the woman who spent a decade redefining herself as a singular force in her sport.
While never officially closing the door on Paris, at one point she was convinced her career was over.
She’s spent most of the last 24 months preparing for her wedding and planning the rest of her life.
Still, the lure of the gym tugged at her, though she’s taking a more muted approach to her comeback than in 2018 or in the run-up to Tokyo in 2021.
At the moment, she’s letting her gymnastics do most of the talking, declining media interviews prior to competing.
After this weekend's U.S. Championships, the world championships are coming in October with the Olympics are less than a year out.

Everyone in the media and behind the scenes needs to learn this skill. I wish they would but unfortunately pride gets in the way of learning to do one's job better.

I really hope they don’t make this the Simone Show. She’s epic but I want to see all the ladies competing. ❤ They are all amazing to me. ❤
