Star-Studded Lineup at Core Hydration Classic
Female US gymnasts, including the iconic Simone Biles, are set to kick off their journey towards qualifying for the 2024 Paris Olympics at the Core Hydration Classic this Saturday. Notably, three Olympic all-around champions – Biles, Gabby Douglas, and Sunisa Lee – will compete together for the first time, promising an intense and historic showdown.

Despite a Competitive Field, Biles Shines
While all three champions have faced their share of obstacles, Biles remains the standout performer as she aims to expand her collection of seven Olympic medals in Paris. After a challenging Tokyo Olympics, where she grappled with the “twisties,” Biles is now back in the game and poised for success.
