At the 2005 World Championships, Chellsie Memmel won the all-around title by just 0.001 points over teammate Nastia Liukin. At the 2021 U.S. Classic this weekend, Memmel will compete alongside first-year seniors born the same year she became world all-around champion, while Liukin will commentate the event for NBC. Memmel, who will turn 33 in June, has not competed at the elite level in nearly a decade.
