Considered by most as the greatest ever gymnast, Biles admitted to be battling some personal “demons,” and eventually decided to withdraw midway through the team final and for Thursday’s individual all-around competition.
USA Gymnastics announced the news Wednesday in Japan, saying it’s to allow the Olympic champion to focus on her mental health before trying to return for the other events next week.
