Registered fieldsSubject to change, Tokyo Olympic floor exercise gold medalist Jade Carey, Olympic team silver medalist Jordan Childs, and two-time World Championship individual all-around medalist Sirise Jones will also be participating.
Following the Classic, the Xfinity US Championship will be held in Fort Worth, Texas from May 30th to June 2nd, followed by the Olympic Trials in Minneapolis from June 27th to 30th.
The overall Olympic selection winner will automatically be selected for the five-member women's Olympic team for the Paris Games.
The committee will select the remaining teams by considering the results of national and international competitions up to last September, including the Core Hydration Classic.
Biles, the 2016 Olympic individual all-around gold medalist, is scheduled to make her competitive debut at the 2024 Classic. At last year's Classic, she won her first individual overall victory since the Tokyo Games. She then won her eighth U.S. individual all-around title, and later in 2023 won her sixth world individual all-around title.
Lee, an individual all-around gold medalist at the Tokyo Olympics, will compete for the third time in 2024, having competed in the Winter Cup in February and the American Classic in April. In early 2023, Lee was diagnosed with two types of kidney disease, making it difficult for him to train and compete.
Douglas, the 2012 Olympic individual all-around gold medalist, returned to competition on April 27 at the American Classic, his first competition since the 2016 Rio Games. Douglas achieved best results on vault (second place) and balance beam (tied for fifth) in an arena where few of the Paris Olympic hopefuls participated.
Simone Biles detailed her long journey from the twisties back to the top of the gymnastics world.
