US Olympian Simone Biles, the greatest gymnast of all time, withdrew from the women’s team all-around final at the Tokyo games Tuesday, citing a medical issue.
” mistakes on the team’s part. Still, Biles seemed to have her head firmly in the game as she prepared to face today’s team finals, as well as her own individual performance Thursday.
In the lead-up to Tuesday’s event, she’d already received a ton of support from fans, fellow gymnasts and of course her family, who have been supporting her."We are all so proud of you already! You are authentically enough. You got this,” track Olympian Allyson Felix wrote in a comment on Biles’ post.
Five-time Olympic medalist Nastia Liukin also joined in the chorus of supportive voices, sharing a touching post on her Instagram story in support of Biles."I feel like at times, people forget that even the very best in the world are still human - with hearts, nerves, pain, stress, anxiety, pressure," she wrote.
And with a track record like hers, the sense of pressure Biles feels is completely justified. Back in May, she made history as the first female athlete to perform the notoriously difficult Yurchenko double pike vault in a competition, when shescore purportedly to deter others from attempting the dangerous move. Still, it was rumored that she would attempt the Yurchenko double at the Olympics, as she was spotted practicing it before the games began.
