USA Gymnastics canceled all top-tier events for 2020, including the national championship planned for next month, due to the COVID-19 crisis, the organization announced Tuesday. Simone Biles was going for her seventh all-around title in eight years.
The U.S. national championship was scheduled for June 4-7 in Fort Worth. The U.S. Classic, the final qualifying event for the championship, is also canceled. Officials hoped they could push the events back in the 2020 calendar year since the Tokyo Olympics were postponed. But in the end they decided to wipe the slate as many states still have stay-at-home orders in place.
