Simone Biles makes winning return in US Classic after two-year break

The 26-year-old American thrilled the Chicago crowd with a stunning display to win the US Classic in her first event since the Tokyo Olympics.

Biles announced in 2021 she was taking a break to work on her mental health.

"Everyone that was cheering - made posters, all of that in the crowd - it just made my heart melt that they still believe in me," Biles said.

"It means the world because after everything that transpired in Tokyo, I worked on myself a lot.
