📸 BRILLIANT BRONZE: A week after she took herself out of several competitions to focus on her mental health, gymnastics superstar Simone Biles stuck the landing to earn her seventh career Olympic medal.

USA Gymnastics confirmed that Simone Biles will compete in the balance beam finals.TOKYO -- Simone Biles isn't going home with a fistful of gold medals. A mental block — one brought on by exhaustion or stress or something the American gymnastics star still can't quite grasp — that forced her to pull out of four Olympic finals saw to that.

“It was something that was so out of my control,” Biles said. “But the outcome I had, at end of the day, my mental and physical health is better than any medal. So I couldn’t be mad.” “We’re not just entertainment, we’re humans,” Biles said. “And there are things going on behind the scenes that we’re also trying to juggle with as well, on top of sports.”
