U.S. Champion Konnor McClain confirms she’s resumed training, working toward Paris 2024
2022 U.S. women’s gymnastics all-around champion Konnor McClain has resumed training after a back injury and subsequent surgery kept her out of the World Championships last season.
“Still the goal!” McClain wrote of Paris 2024 during an Instagram stories takeover of leotard manufacturer Ozone’s account.
The 18-year-old also confirmed that she is targeting August’s U.S. Classic and U.S. Championships as a return. The stories also included a short clip of her training a toe-on, full pirouette on the uneven bars from a recent U.S. national team camp.
Another video posted on Inside Gymnastics magazine’s Twitter showed McClain performing a double pike off a Tumbl Trak into the pit.
McClain recently left WOGA Gymnastics in Dallas, Texas, where she had been training since the summer of 2021, to begin working out at Pacific Reign in the Seattle metro area with head coach Cale Robinson.
“Some places just don’t work out the way you thought they were going to,” McClain said of the move, adding in a later story, “Really just gotta know what I want and follow my heart.”
