The USA Gymnastics 2024 season will commence with the Winter Cup 2024, slated for February 23 to 25, as prominent gymnasts from the U.S. are set to kick off their season in Louisville, Kentucky.

The 2012 Olympics all-around champion Gabby Douglas will compete in her first elite event since participating in Rio 2016 as she takes part in the Winter Cup 2024, with the Paris Olympics 2024 in sight. She aims to be a part of the five-member women’s squad for the upcoming Olympic Games.

The women’s field will also comprise the likes of three-time World Championships and Olympic silver medalist Jordan Chiles, two-time Pan American Games 2023 champion Zoe Miller, Kaliya Lincoln, and three-time NCAA champion Trinity Thomas.

Additionally, Skye Blakely, who was a key member of the USA gold medal-winning team at the Worlds in 2022 and 2023, will make an appearance at the upcoming Winter Cup.

The men’s squad, meanwhile, is headlined by the World Championships bronze medalist Fred Richard, defending champion in the all-around Yul Moldauer, high bar champion from 2022 Brody Malone, 2021 Pommel horse gold medalist Stephen Nedoroscik, and Tokyo Olympian and three-time NCAA champion Shane Wiskus.

It is worth noting that events like the Nastia Liukin Cup, Elite Team Cup, and the Kentucky Winter Classic 2024 will also be concurrently held alongside the Winter Cup.
