Simone Biles likely hit the 'reset' button and got back to basics before feeling ready to return to action at the Tokyo Olympics where she took a pause to focus on her mental health, a sports psychologist said on Monday.

The 24-year-old American, whose decision came after she had trouble with the dismount on her vault, then withdrew from the other four individual finals she qualified for but will defend her gold medal in Tuesday's balance beam final. "These are things she was probably already doing but it just got the best of her in a high-pressure situation and high emotional state so it's kind of like hitting the reset button."

Reset button...

Laughable. She made an arse if herself. Lost her bottle and now that she's finally got over her embarrassment is desperately trying to play the hero and win a gold with her last throw of the dice. Thank God she isn't from Scotland. I'd be so ashamed and embarrassed by her.

Could have easily dropped out early and let someone who really wants to participate get her spot. Kinda selfish but so much for entitlement.
