On Tuesday, the best women’s gymnast in the world, Simone Biles, withdrew from the team portion of the Tokyo Olympics because she did not feel she was in the right mindset to help Team USA win a medal.
A day later, USA Gymnastics has released a statement saying that Biles has now withdrawn from the Individual All-Around Final.
We wish Simone all the best as she takes time to work on her mental health.
