2025 U.S. Classic gymnastics: how to watch, field, preview
The U.S. Classic, the top tune-up meet for the U.S. Gymnastics Championships, airs live on CNBC and Peacock on Saturday at 8 p.m. ET. NBC airs highlights Sunday at 4 p.m. ET. Hezly Rivera, the youngest member of the 2024 Olympic champion team, headlines the field that will compete in Hoffman Estates, Illinois. Rivera, now 17, is joined by 2024 Olympic alternates Leanne Wong, Joscelyn Roberson and Tiana Sumanasekera. Plus Jayla Hang, who won the Pan American all-around title in June over a field that included Rivera. Traditionally, not all of the top gymnasts compete on all four events at Classic, though at least Rivera is expected to do so. Gymnasts are preparing for the U.S. Championships from Aug. 7-10 in New Orleans. Then a selection competition will be held in late September and early October to determine the four-woman team for the World Championships in October in Indonesia. Simone Biles won five of the last six U.S. Classic meets dating to 2018, with Wong taking the other in 2022 during Biles' break from competition. Biles is now on another break from competition and has not announced whether she plans to return to bid for the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics. 2025 U.S. Classic Gymnastics Field Gymnasts are split between two sessions — the first on Saturday at 3 p.m. ET on the USA Gymnastics YouTube page and the second at 8 p.m. ET on CNBC and Peacock.
