Simone Biles Will Return For The Olympic Balance Beam Final!
According to USA Gymnastics, superstar Simone Biles plans to compete in the balance beam final Tuesday. The good news was confirmed this Monday after she withdrew from several competitions to focus on her mental health.
“We are so excited to confirm that you will see two U.S. athletes in the balance beam final tomorrow — Suni Lee and Simone Biles,” USA Gymnastics tweeted.
As we previously reported, the 24-year-old shocked the world last week by suddenly withdrawing during the team gymnastics final. She said the emotional toll of the Tokyo Games prompted her to withdraw. Around that time, the USA Gymnastics announced that she would not defend her individual all-around gold medal and that she had withdrawn from the uneven bars and vault finals. Her return will be celebrated by fans all over the world as many have been eager to see her perform.
Back in 2016, Biles won bronze on beam in Rio and is the three-time world champion on the event. Despite settling down from the games last week, she has been in attendance at the Ariake Gymnastics Centre to cheer on her teammates at every competition since.
