Gabby Douglas falters, Simone Biles shines at Olympic qualifying event

Three-time Olympic gold medalist Gabby Douglas hoped to use the U.S. Classic, a key Olympic qualifying event, on Saturday as a springboard to secure her spot in the team heading to Paris this summer.

However, the 2012 Olympic all-around and team champion struggled on the uneven bars – falling twice – before she withdrew from the rest of the remaining events. The withdrawal means the 28-year-old will fail to qualify for the all-around at the U.S. Championships set to begin May 30.

Douglas, who had taken time away from the sport, returned to training last year hoping to make the squad for Paris. The Olympic trials are set to start at the end of June.
