After a disappointing attempt in the first rotation of the women’s team event, Simone Biles was signified by an ‘R’ on the competitor list before the bars began

MIKE BLAKE/Reuters

After a disappointing attempt in the first rotation, the American was signified by an ‘R’ on the competitor list before the bars began, indicating she would not continue in the competition. Her bid did not get off to a great start, with a disappointing score of 13.766 on the vault in the first rotation. All three Russians who vaulted scored higher, as did her U.S. teammates.Winning the six golds on offer in Japan would lift Biles to 10 – one more than Russian gymnast Larisa Latynina’s women’s record of nine gold medals won over three Olympic Games: Melbourne 1956, Rome 1960 and Tokyo 1964, and confirm her status as the greatest gymnast of all time.

Journalists are really bad at this. Pulled due to mental issues not physical injury Just cancel the Olympics already Coach says it’s due to mental issues - nothing the media should be hiding as there’s no shame - media propagating the stigma of weakness and absence of discussion or mentioning of mental health is kinda pathetic
