USA Gymnastics Chief Programs Officer Stefanie Korepin said:
“We are excited to bring our first national championships of the new Olympic cycle to Tampa. The sport’s landscape has seen a tremendous amount of change and opportunity over the last 12 months, and we are already less than two years away from the Paris Games.
"With returning Olympians, exciting breakout stars, and a bonus system in place to incentivize high difficulty in the men’s competition, this year’s OOFOS US Gymnastics Championships will be more competitive than ever.”
Team USA took the opportunity to highlight some of the more notable athletes competing this time around, including an Olympic gold medalist:
"With less than two years remaining until the 2024 Olympic Games kick off in Paris, 2020 Olympic gold medalist Jade Carey (Phoenix, Ariz./Oregon State University), silver medalist Jordan Chiles (Spring, Texas/World Champions Centre), and Olympians Brody Malone (Aragon, Ga./Stanford University), Yul Moldauer (Wellington, Colo./5280 Gymnastics) and Shane Wiskus (Minneapolis, Minn./U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Training Center) are back on the highest US stage with all-around and apparatus titles up for grabs."
Carey and Chiles will be competing for the first time since the Olympics in Tokyo. There, Chiles took silver in the team event. Carey won gold in the floor exercise.
Notably, Simone Biles is missing her first Championships since 2017. Suni Lee is also not competing this year, but may be back next year.
Additionally, the 2022 United States Gymnastics National Congress and Trade Show will be held on August 18-21 at the Tampa Convention Center.
It will be held in conjunction with the National Championship event. The 2022 USA Hall of Fame induction ceremony will take place on Saturday as well, in Tampa.
