Biles dropped out of the finals for the uneven bars and the vault, but is leaving the door open for the floor exercise and balance beam.of the floor exercise, USA Gymnastics said on Saturday night.
She was the 2016 gold medalist in floor exercise, but her routine includes flips no one besides her has ever even attempted before in competition, a problem considering she's battling issues with determining her orientation in the air.
The four-time Olympic gold medalist and 19-time world championships gold medalist pulled out of the individual all-around competition on Thursday.new Olympic individual all-around gold medalistOnly two athletes from each country can compete in an individual apparatus final, regardless of whether they finish in the top eight, so Skinner was the unlucky loser despite her fourth-best vault in qualifications. But with Biles' withdrawal, she will now get to compete for a medal on vault.
"Looks like I get to put a competition Leo on just one more time," Skinner tweeted Friday night."Can’t wait to compete in vault finals. Doing this for us @Simone_Biles. It’s go time baby!"
Just quit...period
Waste of space. Another athlete could have represented and performed.
What is “breaking news”about this? She failed her team maids?! She should of stay at her home watch from her couch!There are girls up there dying for this opportunity and she took that from them. But yet she is always in news coverage!
Shes done.....
Old news
Who the hell really cares.?!.If so much anguish then Biles should have stayed home but then again no media attention if she’s home..really now personal distress or personal agenda.?.lookin more like BS personal agenda!!!
Wow, reading so many negative comments toward her that it is unreal and being bully by people in this country that are supposed to have her back as well. We should be supporting her and pray that she will be better. So what this is Olympics.
so she quit ?
No shame. Not everyone has what it takes to be a world class athlete. I just hope she did well in college so she has a career to fall back on.
I wonder if she has an inner ear infection, which could cause vertigo.
No Adderall no Olympics for this girl
THE BALANCE BEAM IS THE ONLY ROUTINE THAT SHE SEEMS TO BE MASTERING THIS TIME..I PRAY SHE'LL BE OKAY EMOTIONALLY..😔

Notice the two most reviled Olympic athletes are both women, one blacks and one LGBQT. Meanwhile a male white swimmer robs a gas station in Brazil but that’s OK.
Good for her 💪 A saying, “It’s not all that and then some”. ❤️ You first! Take care🥰😘
why did she even go!! for a free trip!!!
Not sure why she's waiting but obviously she can't do flips on the balance beam if she can't do flips on the floor. So too bad that's the end of her Olympics career
Can we hear about the people who are actually competing now please?
Olympian’s have always come through. The “twisties” have never been an issue. Team means all for one. One for all. The twisties were never an issue. Not feeling sorry for her. Everyone around her has sacrificed to get her there. Not just Princess Twistie.
Poor girl. She was working so hard all years. This is not the way she wanted to finish it.
Quitter. This is such a huge step back for women in sports…seriously. Took someone’s spot that deserved to be there. Ungrateful
Hope she’s not been hit with directed energy weapon aka HavanaSyndrome
Stunning and brave. I
Good girl take care of you first Simone_Biles
She's going out sad
I would follow her lead up Everest, but this is her solo climb and what a wise woman she is! TY Simone for showing young girls what true courage, strength and wisdom looks like 💪🙏💋
