A bronze medal in the uneven bars final on Sunday completed Suni Lee’s set of Tokyo Olympic hardware.
Lee, who later won gold in the all-around event and bronze on the uneven bars, had a major wobble on the beam and scored 13.866 to finish fifth in Tuesday’s event. Guan Chenchen of China won gold, followed by Tang Xijing of China and Biles.Based on her scores in qualifying, Biles had earned spots in the all-around competition and all four event finals in addition to leading the team event. However, she withdrew from the finals in floor exercise, vault, and the uneven bars.
Biles won five medals at the 2016 Rio Games, winning admirers globally for her daring skills and powerful tumbling. She has had four moves named after her, a tribute to her innovation and ability. She has won 25 medals at the world gymnastics championships, the most won by any man or woman.Simone Biles flashes a heart sign to a fan after earning bronze in the balance beam event final Tuesday.
Biles, 24, has said she might continue in elite gymnastics with the idea of becoming an event specialist in the 2024 Paris Games because her coaches, Cecile and Laurent Landi, are from France. While that remains uncertain, her short-term future includes performing in a series of exhibitions that will be called the Gold Over America Tour and will be staged in arenas around the U.S.
