Kuala Lumpur: Prominent American gymnastics sensation Simone Biles withdrew from the US team final to focus on her mental health.
She is not participating in the all-around for the same reason, USA Gymnastics announced early Wednesday.
Reports say she will not be defending her individual all-around gold medal at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.
“After further medical evaluation, Simone Biles has withdrawn from the final individual all-around competition at the Tokyo Olympic Games, in order to focus on her mental health,” the USA Gymnastics statement read.
“Simone will continue to be evaluated daily to determine whether or not to participate in next week’s event finals.”
