A resilient Skye Blakely returns at Xfinity U.S. Gymnastics Championships
There was a time last summer when Skye Blakely, toting crutches after surgery, reflected with her parents about how well she competed at the 2024 U.S. Gymnastics Championships a month or two earlier. Blakely finished runner-up to Simone Biles at those nationals, confirming she was a bona fide contender for the five-woman Paris Olympic team. Three weeks later, Blakely ruptured her right Achilles' tendon while training on floor exercise, two days before the Olympic Trials. She underwent season-ending surgery. 'Just talking about the feeling of how I competed at (2024 U.S.) Championships — I was very free, I was very relaxed, and I was having fun,' Blakely recalled. 'That was a newer kind of feeling for me. I don't always compete like that. 'They (mom Stephanie and dad Steven) were just like, 'You see how well you did, and you're still talking about how (much) more you have to give. Allow that to drive you for this next Olympics.'' Blakely returns to elite gymnastics competition for the first time in 14 months at this week's Xfinity U.S. Championships. Nick Zaccardi, She plans to do strictly balance beam and uneven bars, eschewing vault and floor for now. She is working toward returning to all-around competition in 2026. Even without doing all four events, she can still be chosen for this October's World Championships, which include individual events only. The four women for worlds will be decided at a selection competition in early autumn, though results at nationals will also play a role in committee picks. Blakely's young senior career — she is 20 years old, coming off her freshman year at Florida — has already been defined by perseverance. At the Tokyo Olympic Trials, she tore an elbow ligament warming up for vault, her first event. Blakely underwent Tommy John surgery, then came back to earn places on world championship-winning U.S. teams in 2022 and 2023. In 2024, Blakely could have been the first-timer on an Olympic team otherwise full of veterans (Simone Biles, Suni Lee, Jade Carey, Jordan Chiles). Instead, she could be the experienced rookie in 2028. A day after the Achilles tear, she posted, 'I'm devastated and heartbroken but I believe everything happens for a reason. I was so close to reaching my dream but this injury was unavoidable. I had an amazing season that I am extremely grateful for. the plans we have for ourselves aren't always the plans God has for us. I'm going to keep my chin high and be proud of the statement I have made for myself these past couple years. I'll be back.' Blakely, a Texan who started gymnastics at age 3, matriculated at Florida later last summer. She told coaches with determination that she planned to make it through physical rehab and be available for the first meet of the NCAA season in January 2025. 'There were some people who were like, 'I don't think you will compete. We're not sure if you will or be ready,'' she said. 'I was like, 'I'm going to be ready.'' On Jan. 10, Blakely mounted the bars minutes after older sister Sloane did in front of about 6,000 people at the O'Connell Center. She scored 9.725 in Florida's season-opening meet. #Gators freshman Skye Blakely's first collegiate routine … Not bad for where she was less than 200 days ago … Blakely's original plan was to make the 2024 Olympics and move on from elite gymnastics. But as she saw others go to college and then return to elite successfully — like Lee, Carey and Chiles — Blakely revised her thinking. 'Right after I got hurt, I was like, I'm going for 2028,' she said. Blakely began to feel like her old self in June. Through physical therapy, she had overcome weakness in her calf and discomfort in her heel after the NCAA season, which her surgeon had told her to expect. The next three years will be about progression, from getting her skills back to developing into a seasoned NCAA competitor. Come 2028, she can become the first U.S. female gymnast to make her first Olympic team off qualifying for her third Olympic Trials since Kelly Garrison in 1988. 'That kept me motivated, knowing how close I was to making the team, knowing how ready I was,' she said. 'The injury keeping me back from making that team just motivates me more.'

RFK Racing Teammates Battling Themselves, Others On Playoff Bubble
NASCAR Cup Series RFK Racing Teammates Battling Themselves, Others On Playoff Bubble Published Aug. 5, 2025 9:47 a.m. ET share facebook x reddit link NEWTON, Iowa — RFK Racing has two drivers fighting for a NASCAR Cup Series playoff spot on points. That would be great — except they're fighting against each other. With three spots currently available by points, Chris Buescher leads Ryan Preece by 23 points for the final spot. If there is a new winner in the final three races, they could both potentially miss the playoffs. Chris Buescher waves to fans as he walks onstage during driver intros prior to the NASCAR Cup Series Iowa Corn 350 That almost happened on Sunday at Iowa Speedway when their teammate and team co-owner, Brad Keselowski, challenged for the win before winding up third. At one point relatively late in the race, Preece could have held up Keselowski but knew Keselowski had the better car. He likely would have tried to put another driver passing him in a more precarious position, but he knew what was at stake. "Brad caught me, and I figured even though I hate losing another spot in the points, I knew it was the right thing to do with how fast he was at the time and how many laps he led," Preece said. ADVERTISEMENT "He's my teammate and my owner. He's part of the group that signs my check. It was the right thing to do for the company." Brad Keselowski (right) and Chris Buescher walk the grid during practice for the NASCAR Cup Series Iowa Corn 350 It also kept Preece from potentially putting himself in a precarious situation and losing even more spots as he had a loose car. If he had tried to hang on to the position, he risked wrecking himself. "If I didn't get as loose as I did, and I felt like I could challenge the [leaders] for the win, I would have raced the s--- out of him," Preece said. "But at that point in time, it was damage control, and try to not lose more time to anybody behind us." Preece finished fifth and cut 20 points off the margin to Buescher, so he sits 23 points behind. With the final three regular-season races being Watkins Glen (road course), Richmond (short track) and Daytona (superspeedway), there are opportunities for strategy to come into play. Drivers might pit before a stage end for track position or they might try to pit just outside a fuel window and stretch it to the end. Or at a place like Richmond, they might opt to cut a stage in thirds instead of half and hope that fresher tires will make the difference. Ryan Preece gets introduced before the NASCAR Cup Series Toyota/Save Mart 350 In some racing series, an organization might direct the drivers to use different strategies, in hopes that one of them can win the race for whichever strategy works the best with the way the race plays out. Keselowski, who faces the possibility of seeing none of his cars make the playoffs or possibly two of his cars make the playoffs (all three could if each of them won in the final three regular-season races), said he would not give such directives to his drivers. "The crew chiefs have the ultimate level of autonomy at RFK to be able to make the calls that they feel are best for their team," Keselowski said prior to the Iowa race. "But certainly you like to be smart at it from a company perspective. "Right now, where we're at, seemingly at least two or three teams need to win a race to get a win. But we're very competitive. There's a realistic potential to do that." NASCAR has relatively strict rules to limit teams from manipulating a finish to benefit a specific driver as they are directed to get the best finish possible. But teammates do work together at certain places, such as at Daytona when it comes to working in the draft or fuel mileage. "We do try to push those things from time to time," Keselowski said about strategy directed by the organization. "But the ultimate reality is you can't tell somebody to take a low percentage shot and ruin their day just so you feel better about it. There's certainly a balancing act." Both Buescher and Preece could look at moments this season with frustration considering they haven't solidified a playoff spot. (L-R) Brad Keselowski, Ryan Preece and Chris Buescher walk the grid prior to practice for the Cook Out Clash at Bowman Gray Stadium in February Buescher was docked 30 points for a rear bumper cover violation at Kansas. Preece was disqualified from a second-place finish at Talladega for too many shims on the rear spoiler, which cost him 39 points. Right now, the playoff bubble — with three spots currently available for winless drivers — has Tyler Reddick up by 122 points, Alex Bowman with a 63-point cushion and then Buescher (+23). Preece joined the team this year and the group has made steady progress, so just the fact they have a shot at the playoffs on points is somewhat of a surprise. "If we were to get in the playoffs, we could be a threat, especially at this point in the season where we've spent 20-something races together and gaining a notebook of our own and understanding things that I key off of or what I want in a race car," Preece said. "We've been super consistent. We've been top 10. When we execute races, we're top five. We're developing into a team that can lead laps and win races. It's going to take a win ... to lock ourselves in. But at the same time, we've been doing a good job of executing races and putting ourselves in position, so that's all you can do." For Buescher, the feeling is all too similar to one he has had in recent years battling for a playoff spot until late in the regular season. He has won at Watkins Glen, Richmond and Daytona over the last couple of seasons. He missed the playoffs last year. "There's always different circumstances, and somehow or another, we always end up there [on the bubble]," Buescher said. "We have to figure out how to win our races earlier in the season. "But we've had some speed and some good runs ... and we've been in the hunt at a lot of different races." Bob Pockrass covers NASCAR and INDYCAR for FOX Sports.
