Four-time Olympic gold medallist Simone Biles is back with the United States national team for a training camp, the 26-year-old said on social media on Sunday, after announcing her return to competition last month.

The five-time all-around world champion will compete at the US Classic in Chicago next month, having been out of action for the past two years following her withdrawal from several events at the Tokyo Olympics, citing a need to protect her mental health.

She won bronze on the balance beam and silver in the team competition at the Tokyo 2020 Olympics, on top of the 4 Gold medals she collected in 2016 at the Rio Games.

Biles was all smiles in a post on Instagram, posing for a picture with team mate Zoe Miller with the caption “back at camp.”
