HOFFMAN ESTATES, Illinois : U.S. gymnast Simone Biles will return to the competition floor in suburban Chicago on Saturday, two years after the “twisties” forced her to withdraw from team finals at the Tokyo Olympics.

That included a Yurchenko double-piked vault, a skill so challenging that it has never been attempted in competition by another female gymnast.
