HARTFORD, Conn. — Gymnastics royalty will begin their journey to Paris 2024 on Saturday when an unprecedented three Olympic all-around champions — Suni Lee, Simone Biles and Gabby Douglas — compete at the Core Hydration Classic.
The meet is the final qualification opportunity for the U.S. Championships in Fort Worth, Texas, later this month. Biles and her fellow Olympic champions have already punched their tickets to Fort Worth, but Saturday's meet is an important steppingstone to making the five-member Paris Olympic team this summer.
Douglas made it clear in Katy that her comeback effort is legitimate. Her performance in Hartford on Saturday will be an even stronger indicator of her chances to make her third Olympic team — a feat no American woman has accomplished since Dominique Dawes. Biles, who was Douglas’ teammate at the 2016 Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, is eyeing her third Olympic team, as well.
