Nonetheless, according to her latest update, she is doing absolutely fine and training hard for the events to come. Jones has achieved some marvelous milestones in the past.

Her stans might not be able to watch her against others making a comeback, but she will set the mats on fire once again. Till then, there are other gymnasts to watch out for at the upcoming events in the sport.

The comeback event of the season

The biggest news of a return to competitive gymnastics was no doubt that of Simone Biles. The 4-time Olympic gold medalist had a worrying exit from the Tokyo Olympics after she announced she wanted to take a break and work on her mental health. It’s been a while since Tokyo, but Simone Biles was silent on any rumors about a comeback. Though, not anymore. She finally announced she will be competing at the U.S. Classic. Since then, Simone Biles has also been updating her fans with videos of her routine on social media.

Another Olympian making a comeback is Sunisa Lee. For her, Tokyo was the last elite competition as well. For the last two seasons, Lee has been competing in the NCAA. A kidney-related health issue resulted in an abrupt pause in her career. She, however, still plans to qualify for the 2024 Games. Gabby Douglas has also put in a bid to qualify for Paris. It will be interesting to see who makes the U.S. Team for the Games.
