Simone Biles withdraws from floor exercise final in Tokyo

, citing concerns about her mental health. The floor final is set for Monday and beam for Tuesday.

Simone Biles watches the men's pommel horse final from the stands at the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games on Sunday.In addition to the weight of the immense pressure to perform in Tokyo, Biles said she was dealing witha phenomenon gymnasts experience in which they feel a disconnect between their mind and body. The issue can be extremely dangerous when hurdling through the air, as gymnasts often lose track of where the ground is and lose control of how many times they're twisting.

In qualifications, Biles became the first woman since 1992 to advance to the final in all six possible Olympic events — the team final, individual all-around final and the vault, uneven bars, balance beam and floor event finals. Widely regarded as the greatest female gymnast of all time, Biles won five medals at the 2016 Olympics: gold in the team final, individual all-around, vault and floor finals, and bronze on beam.

that's nice. 🙂 good for her.

The more this story develops around Simone's mental issues, I am now prone to believe that some Team USA member made a racist remark and she (and others) became 'fed up' with representing a country that continues to disrespect its Black citizens.

Why did she go to the games this was not something that happened overnight am I missing something

Get her on a plane

GOAT ? GOAT’s don’t do that , She has been on the big stage how many times ? She should have bowed out at the US Olympic trials and given someone else a chance to be on the team who has worked just as hard to be chosen and represent the USA at the Tokyo Olympics

Poor baby!

Simone is not the GOAT! GOATS do t quit

Who didn't see this coming?

She needs to be comfortable with herself. Gold medals come and go. A golden heart lasts forever!

Let her go.. let’s move on and talk about the actual athletes who are competing. This is not a story…

Bc she’s a quitter 🐐 Never Quit she did bc she couldn’t land any of her moves right and they was losing so what does Gen Z ppl do these days ? Cry & Quit

Love you Simone!
