The 24-year-old American, whose decision came after she had trouble with the dismount on her vault, then withdrew from the other four individual finals she qualified for but will defend her gold medal in Tuesday's balance beam final. "These are things she was probably already doing but it just got the best of her in a high-pressure situation and high emotional state so it's kind of like hitting the reset button."
