USA Gymnastics on Thursday announced the athletes who will compete at the 2022 U.S. Classic from July 28-31 in Salt Lake Valley, Utah.
The women’s field is headlined by 2021 world all-around silver medalist Leanne Wong and 2021 world all-around bronze medalist Kayla DiCello. Both Wong and DiCello were also alternates for the 2021 U.S. Olympic team. Other standouts include 2021 U.S. junior all-around champion Katelyn Jong and 2021 world team member Konnor McClain.
No members of last year’s U.S. women’s Olympic gymnastics team are slated to compete at the 2022 U.S. Classic, but two are expected to make their elite return as soon as August. The U.S. Classic is the final opportunity for athletes to qualify for next month’s U.S. Championships in Tampa, but Olympians have a bye. The U.S. team for the 2022 World Championships (October 29-November 6, 2022 in Liverpool, England) will be decided following U.S. Championships.
Where are the six members of the 2021 U.S. women’s Olympic gymnastics team?
While Simone Biles has left the door open for the 2024 Paris Olympics, she also hasn’t publicly announced a timeline for her potential return
Jade Carey competed at Oregon State this past season and confirmed in April that she is making her return to elite gymnastics. She participated in a USA Gymnastics national team camp earlier this month and is expected to compete at U.S. Championships in August
Jordan Chiles competed at UCLA this past season and a representative said she is training for U.S. Championships
Suni Lee, the Olympic all-around gold medalist, competed for Auburn. She attended the same national team camp as Carey this month, but doesn’t plan to return to elite competition this summer
Of the four collegiate gymnasts, only Grace McCallum is undecided on a potential return to elite competition (as of April)
MyKayla Skinner, who won Olympic vault silver last summer, is the only member of the U.S. team to retire since Tokyo
