June 28 (Reuters) - Four times Olympic gold medallist Simone Biles will return to competition in early August at the U.S. Classic in Chicago, USA Gymnastics said on Wednesday, in what will be her first event since the Tokyo Games in 2021.
That took her Olympic tally to seven medals, equalling Shannon Miller as the American female gymnast with the most Games medals.
"Together, they have won 60 Olympic and World Championships medals, with 12 from the Games and 48 from Worlds.
Those tallies include a combined 46 World or Olympic medals earned by Biles (32), Carey (8) and Lee (6)."
Biles, who recently married NFL player Jonathan Owens, used the US Classic to return from a two-year break in 2018 following her participation in Rio.
