Olympic champion Gabby Douglas' comeback takes another important step at the U.S. Classic

HARTFORD, Conn. — Olympic gymnastics champion Gabby Douglas' comeback following an eight-year layoff will take another important step at the U.S. Classic. Douglas, who became the first Black woman to win the Olympic all-around title when she soared to gold at the 2012 London Games, is among a star-studded field that will compete at the XL Center in the last major tuneup before the U.S. Championships. The 28-year-old Douglas returned to competition at the American Classic last month, where she showed flashes of the form that made her a star well over a decade ago.
