Simone Biles will not compete in gymnastics all-around final at Tokyo Olympics
TOKYO – Simone Biles will not compete in the Olympic all-around.
Jade Carey will replace Biles in the competition on Thursday, USA Gymnastics said in a statement. Biles' withdrawal from the all-around, where she is the defending Olympic gold medalist, comes a day after she pulled out of the team final after one event on Tuesday.
USA Gymnastics said Biles will not compete so she can focus on her mental health and would continue to be evaluated to determine whether or not she would compete in event finals next week.
