U.S. gymnastics superstar Simone Biles pulled out of the team finals Tuesday after an uncharacteristic balk on her vault.
According to the live Peacock broadcast, Biles’ withdrawal was not due to a physical injury, but a “mental issue she is having.” However, USA Gymnastics told USA Today that it was due to a medical issue, and she will be “assessed daily to determine medical clearance for future competitions.”
One of Biles’ coaches told NBC that “physically she is fine, but she is done for tonight.”
The four-time Olympic gold medalist was being attended to by a trainer and left the floor at Ariake Gymnastics Center and was replaced during the second apparatus rotation, the uneven bars, by reserve Jordan Chiles.
