Gabby Douglas Set to Make Anticipated Return to Competitive Gymnastics at 2024 American Classic

Gabby Douglas, the three-time Olympic gold medalist, is set to make her highly anticipated return to competitive gymnastics at the 2024 American Classic. This marks her first competition since the 2016 Summer Games in Rio de Janeiro, where she solidified her status as one of the greatest gymnasts of all time.

Douglas took a step back from the sport to focus on her mental state, but in July 2023, she hinted on Instagram that she had resumed training and was aiming to compete in the Paris Olympics. Unfortunately, her comeback was delayed when she tested positive for COVID-19 and had to withdraw from the 2023 Winter Cup.

Despite the setback, Douglas remained determined and assured fans that she would be back soon. Now, the time has finally come for her return at the American Classic on April 27. The event serves as one of the final opportunities to qualify for the U.S. Gymnastics Championships and ultimately the U.S. Olympic Team Trials ahead of the 2024 Paris Games.

The American Classic will feature top gymnasts like Suni Lee, Jade Carey, and Joscelyn Roberson, making it an exciting event to watch. Douglas and the other headliners will compete in the Senior Division at 2:45 p.m. ET.

While the American Classic will not be televised, fans can stream the event live on FlipNow. This is a must-watch for gymnastics enthusiasts eager to see Gabby Douglas back in action and competing at the highest level once again. Stay tuned for what promises to be a thrilling comeback for the Olympic champion.
