Simone Biles has officially dropped out of the all-around finals, saying she wasn't mentally able to compete.
Biles completed just one event — the vault — during the team finals on Tuesday. She planned to attempt a difficult, two-and-a-half twist move, but she got lost in the air, only completed one-and-a-half twists, and stumbled on her landing. After consulting with her coach, she took off her wristguards, hugged her teammates, and withdrew from competition.
At first, no one knew if Biles would still compete in individual events, scheduled to begin at the end of this week. Amid the speculation,that Biles, who posted on Instagram that she felt like she had the weight of the world on her shoulders at these Games, was shaking and unable to sleep before the team competition. As one of the biggest stars in this year’s Games, the pressure on her has been immense.Biles’ withdrawal from the individual all-around is a shock to many of her fans.
Biles also qualified for the finals in all four individual events. Those competitions are scheduled to take place next week, and USA Gymnastics has said she will be evaluated daily to see if she will still compete in the individual events.
