- Four-time champion: ‘There’s more to life than gymnastics’
- American pulls out after vault early in Tuesday’s competition
- ROC team wins gold with USA second and Britain in bronze
Simone Biles was forced to withdraw from the women’s team final at the Tokyo Games on Tuesday, citing mental health concerns after struggling on her opening vault.
The four-times Olympic champion’s withdrawal leaves questions over whether she will be able to compete – and do so at a high level – for the remainder of the competition. When asked by reporters later what her goal was for these Games, Biles replied: “To focus on my wellbeing. You know there’s more to life than just gymnastics.”
