The 2008 Olympic all-around champ announced in October of 2011 that she'd be making a comeback to try to earn a spot on the 2012 Olympic team. She focused on bars and beam only at the 2012 Olympic Trials and US nationals. She looked solid on beam, but struggled on bars and looked like she just ran out of time to get her full bar routine together.
