BREAKING: Simone Biles plans to compete in the Tokyo Olympics balance beam final on Tuesday, USA Gymnastics says, after she withdrew from several competitions to focus on her mental health.

final. The 24-year-old said the emotional toll of the Tokyo Games, not a physical injury, prompted her to withdraw.

I hope she is truly OK and not feeling pressure to compete give this kid a break she is this countries greatest gymnast I Believe every American is pulling for her good luck

Pssst. You know what’s cool? Stepping aside to take care of yourself and letting your teammates have the opportunity to shine

It's okay. You can withdraw. Adversity overcame you not the other way around. nolongerdependable

Send her home she is ill per her own admission. It is abuse to have an ill person compete.

It must have been one of those 24 hour mental health illnesses.

She should head home and rest. Not sure why shes still there.

Way sick of hearing about her.

So the twisties are all gone. Cool

Do ya think that's wise? All week been suffering with mental health issues but a 4 inch wide beam 4 feet off the floor seems like a good idea?

If she is ready to try, then OK, if she's not, then OK too. It's up to her and I'd just prefer her safe, but only she knows if she's OK to try.

That's nice.

Yawn.

Good for her

Morning_Joe Getting way too much attention for having NOT competed. Focus on our 'participants'. and medal winners. Drama queen

Morning_Joe Wrong. She saw how STUNNING Sunni Lee was on parallel bars and had no desire to lose to her.

Morning_Joe She must have got her head checked out and screwed on straight

GOAT 🥇

Prayers to you, Simone! Be safe!!👍👍👏👏🙏🙏🙏🙏🇺🇸🇺🇸🌠🎆

What about the weight of the World?

No thanks

WOW she sure got 'well' quick

Good luck Ms. Biles! 🍀🍀

Sunisa Lee making people forget about you?

This child is using the TeamUSA as her personal platform for her inability to cope. Other athletes have the same pressure to preform but you have not seen any other ones bitch and complain about it. Simone should seek mental health help as soon as possible pack up and leave

Oh scared for her

LMAO

Fingers crossed that she will do well.

That’s good. Many Americans will be going to work and doing what they were trained to do, also.
