KATY, Texas — Gabby Douglas is officially back. The 2012 Olympic gymnastics champion posted an all-around total of 50.65 at the American Classic, her first competition since the 2016 Olympics. The 28-year-old Douglas showed some rust, particularly on floor exercise and uneven bars, but also was solid on vault and balance beam. Douglas is aiming for a shot at making the five-woman team that will represent the U.S. at the Paris Olympics this summer. Jade Carey, who won gold on floor exercise at the 2020 Tokyo Games, captured the all-around title. Reigning Olympic champion Sunisa Lee dazzled on uneven bars as she eyes an Olympic return.
