Making a comeback to professional gymnastic tournaments after eight long years, Gabby Douglas produced an astonishing performance in the American Classic 2024.

Even though the Virginia native was a bit streaky in the first rotations, she came back strongly and quickly showed her mettle which also included a double-twisting Yurchenko during her second rotation of the event.

She finished tenth in the all-around competition of the event but finished off strongly in pole vault exercises (14.000 points) and beam balance (13.350 points). Owing to this superb performance she earned a qualification in these two events for the upcoming Xfinity US Championships scheduled from May 30- June 2 in Fort Worth, Texas.

This was an absolutely stunning performance considering her return from a long hiatus. However, Douglas will definitely not stop her and will be looking to qualify for the third Olympics of her career in Paris and the first since the 2016 Rio Olympics.
