During her first competition in 732 days, she briefly appeared uncertain during introductions, but once she saluted the judges, she regained her usual form. The “twisties” that troubled her during the Tokyo Olympics seemed to be a thing of the past. Wearing a bedazzled black-and-white leotard, the 26-year-old gymnast looked at ease, performing in front of a supportive crowd at the sold-out NOW Arena. Her all-around score of 59.100 was the highest of the night, a remarkable feat considering she had only resumed serious training in late April after her marriage to NFL defensive back Jonathan Owens. Biles has been more reserved in her return to the sport that she has redefined over the last decade. She admitted it took some time to recover from the “twisties,” a mental block affecting her air awareness. However, her performance on uneven bars, balance beam, floor exercise, and vault showcased her exceptional skills and steadiness. With the U.S. Championships, world championships, and the Olympics on the horizon, Simone Biles’ remarkable comeback at the U.S. Classic could be just the beginning of her continued dominance in gymnastics.
