Gymnastics star Simone Biles returns to competition in August in first meet since 2020 Olympics

Simone Biles is back. The gymnastics superstar plans to return to competition at the U.S. Classic outside Chicago in early August. The meet will be Biles' first since the pandemic-delayed 2020 Tokyo Olympics. Biles made headlines at the 2020 Games when she removed herself from several events to focus on her mental health. She returned on the last day of the meet to earn bronze on the balance beam, her seventh career Olympic medal. Biles will be joined at the U.S. Classic by 2020 Olympic champion Sunisa Lee.

Dems tap Chicago for 2024 convention, cite critical Midwest

WASHINGTON (AP) — Democrats have chosen Chicago to host their 2024 national convention. The selection announced Tuesday is intended to keep the Democratic Party's momentum going after last fall's midterm election success in the critical Midwest. President Joe Biden chose Chicago over finalists that also included Atlanta and New York. Chicago is solidly Democratic, as is Illinois. But holding the party's convention in such a pro-union city underscores Biden's commitment to organized labor, which will be vital to his bid for a second term. Democrats also had a strong showing in Michigan last fall and hope to repeat that elsewhere in the region. The choice could counter Republicans, who'll hold their 2024 convention in Milwaukee.
