Simone Biles has withdrawn from event finals for vault and the uneven bars at the Tokyo Olympics, Team USA says.
TOKYO — Gymnastics superstar Simone Biles has withdrawn from the uneven bars and vault finals at the Tokyo Olympics, Team USA said Saturday.
"She will continue to be evaluated daily to determine whether to compete in the finals for floor exercise and balance beam," the team said in a statement. It is the latest unexpected turn in an Olympic Games that was supposed to be a showcase for Biles and which has thrust the four-time gold medalist headlong into the conversation about mental health and athletics.
