The hype was real for a Simone Biles vs. Gabby Douglas clash at the 2024 Core Hydration Classic. Simone’s return for her third Olympic gymnastics cycle was nothing short of spectacular. She nailed her performance at May’s U.S. Classic, scoring 59.500 in the all-around, her best since Tokyo. Meanwhile, Gabby faced some challenges withdrawing after the first rotation with 10.100 on uneven bars.

Despite facing these struggles, Gabby has still managed to secure her spot at the prestigious 2024 Xfinity U.S. Gymnastics Championships. This competition is the showdown before the Olympic Trials kick off on June 27–30. That’s when the selection for the five-man and five-woman teams that will compete in the Paris Olympics will take place.

The women’s all-around winner at trials secures an Olympic spot, while for the men, the all-around winner makes the team if he is also among the top three on three of the six apparatuses. Gabby Douglas may not be hitting the mats for the all-around event, but she’s still gearing up to compete in three out of four events and gunning for a spot in the Olympic Trials.
