Biles set to return to competition for balance beam final

Simone Biles, of the United States, center in blue, looks on with teammates during the women's floor exercise in artistic gymnastics at the 2020 Summer Olympics, Monday, Aug. 2, 2021, in Tokyo, Japan.

The 2016 Olympic champion pulled out of competition a little over a week ago to focus on her mental health, but will return for the balance beam final in what will certainly be the highlight of NBC’s coverage.It will be a big night at Olympic Stadium for American hurdlers Sydney McLaughlin and Dalilah Muhammad. They are expected to race each other for the gold in the 400-meter hurdles.

“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!! Can’t wait to watch you both!” USA Gymnastics said in a statement. The women’s balance beam final will be streamed live on Peacock starting at 4 a.m. with an encore — along with the men’s horizontal bar final — during NBC’s primetime coverage beginning at 8 p.m.The month-long battle between Sydney McLaughlin and Dalilah Muhammad continues at Olympic Stadium as both hurdlers eye the gold medal in the 400 meters.

So now that we have a new championship, Sun Lee, Simon feeling left out and want to compete, where does the drama end?!

I feel humiliated to be an American.

That mental health issue cleared up rather quickly.

Bailed on her teammates now comes back for individual routine.

Football injury magic spray can good to go

Wow, what a incredibly quick recovery from 'mental health' problems, but I guess she is a olympic athlete so recovers quicker than mere mortals who have suffered mental health issues that could months or years to recover from where simple day to day tasks are a challenge...

citizenyid Whatever simone wants is okay with us!

She recovered quickly....

Gooooo Simone_Biles. Gooooo!

Praise Jesus! She's cured! It's a god damn miracle!

The palms of my hands get sweaty watching these ladies on the balance beam. I'm surprised she's going for it.
