With Simeone Biles and notable absences, USA Gymnastics announced the national team camp Infobae
From April 1 to 4, in Katy, Texas, the United States women’s national team camp will take place and USA Gymnastics confirmed the 32 members with the presence of Simone Biles and notable absences, such as those of Gabby Douglas and Suni Lee.
In the camp, 18 members will be selected to form the United States teams for the next international competitions, the Pacific Basin Championship (April 21-28 in Cali, Colombia) and the City of Jesolo Trophy (April 20-21 in Jesolo, Italy).
In addition to Biles, among those mentioned for these four days of testing are Jordan Chiles, Skye Blakely, Shilese Jones and Kayla DiCello, Pan American champion in Santiago 2023 and who has just won the All Around in the Winter Cup in Louisville.
As for the absences, one of the important ones is that of Gabby Douglas, who after eight years without competing was going to return to the Winter Cup, but it couldn’t be because she had Covid-19. Precisely, USA Gymnastics announced that the camp was accessed by “senior athletes who placed in the top 12 in the all-around in the 2024 Winter Cup and achieved the qualifying score for the U.S. Championship. UU”.
Douglas’ intention is to be at the 2024 Paris Olympic Games and for that he must be selected for the national team that will qualify in Minneapolis in June. Not being in this camp, you will have no chance of showing your level and being able to take part in these tournaments that will be played in Colombia and Italy.
Meanwhile, another one who will not be in Texas from April 1 to 4 is Suni Lee, the champion of the All Around in Tokyo 2020, who last year had to get away from gymnastics due to a kidney problem and did not have the results she expected in the Winter Cup.
Up to 1??8?? Women's Artistic athletes will be chosen to represent Team USA in international competitions next month with selections coming from verification routines during National Team Camp on April 2!
