Six-time world medalist Shilese Jones will not compete at this weekend's U.S.
Six-time world medalist Shilese Jones will not compete at this weekend's U.S. Championships, she announced ahead of Friday's competition in Fort Worth, Texas. Jones is one of a handful of gymnasts in contention for a spot on the U.S. Olympic team competing in Paris this summer. Two weeks ago, at the Core Hydration Classic, Jones solidified herself as Team USA's strongest asset behind Simone Biles, finishing second in the all-around competition and winning the uneven bars.
I’m excited to support my fellow athletes and teammates this weekend.' The gymnasts representing the U.S. in Paris will be selected at the Olympic Trials this summer, which are slated for June 27-30 in Minneapolis. While the U.S. Championships are the official qualifying event for the U.S. Olympic Trials, the selection procedures enable athletes to file a petition to compete in case of injury or other extenuating circumstances.
