USA Gymnastics confirmed that Simone Biles will compete in the balance beam finals.The American gymnastics superstar won bronze during the balance beam final on Tuesday, a week after she took herself out of several competitions to focus on her mental health.
Olympic all-around champion Sunisa Lee of the United States finished fifth. The 18-year-old Lee won three medals in Tokyo, including silver in the team final and bronze on uneven bars. She bailed out of her vault during the first rotation of the team finals on July 27, then stunningly removed herself from the competition as a matter of protection because she was having difficulty locating herself in the air. She later described the phenomenon as “the twisties” and subsequently pulled out of the all-around, uneven bars, floor exercise and vault finals.
Lee became the fifth straight American woman to capture the all-around title and added a bronze on uneven bars. MyKayla Skinner, placed into the vault final after Biles scratched, soared to silver. On Monday, Jade Carey's long journey to theended with a victory on floor exercise after Biles gave her a pep talk following a nightmarish vault performance in which she tripped at the end of the runway and narrowly avoided serious injury.
Bravo Simone! Eres maravillosa!🎉🎉🏅
You can complement Simone for a lot of stuff and winning a bronze is fantastic. But not sure she should be celebrated for getting the yeeps and withdrawing from most competition.
Simone Biles speaks after winning bronze
So sick of these spoilers. Maybe I'm gonna refrain from watching the Olympics.
That’s nice. But I think the girls that have been competing should have had the right to keep competing when she was out. These girls have worked very hard to get where they are
Her smile says everything. ❤ Congratulations Simone_Biles ❤🇺🇸
Congrats Simone. 🔥 Proved her haters wrong. The result doesn't really matter as much as giving your best. That's why we watch the Olympics: To get inspired by the human spirit of perseverance and courage.
Great athlete, not the goat
Now it’s called a “BRILLIANT BRONZE”. Good for her but a GOAT doesn’t take a BRONZE…. Well LeFlop thinks all those FINALS losses make him the goat…. Lol 😂
Congratulations Guan Chenchen
🙌🏽💯
👏👏👏🇺🇸🙏
