$imoney is ready to make a splash again.

Seven-time Olympic medalist Simon Biles and her beguiling moves are set to return two months from now as USA Gymnastics announced the American legend's comeback.

The organization said Biles will compete at the U.S. Classic. The single-day event will be held in Chicago on August 5 at the NOW Arena in Hoffman Estates.

This will be her first competitive event since she decided to take a break to focus on her mental health right after the 2021 Olympics in Japan. She explained that she would "relish and take this Olympics in" because she never got to absorb the fruits of her labor since stardom in 2016.

She instead kept busy advocating for the overall wellness of her fellow athletes.

While she decided to walk away from the sport she was currently dominating, she never closed her doors to competing again. She hinted that she will compete in the 2024 Olympics after her lengthy break.

What kept her busy and will be busy for

Biles was away from the game for almost two years, but she remained very supportive of her teammates. She also became more active in pushing for athletes' mental health and wellness.

The 26-year-old also got married in April 2023 to Green Bay Packers strong safety Jonathan Owens.

Biles, considered gymnastics' GOAT, is expected to be seen more after August since the U.S. Classic is one of the marquee competitions in the USA and serves as a warm-up for the national championships, which can also be the pool for the Olympics.
