Simone Biles is withdrawing out of another event final in Tokyo — and “will make a decision” about the balance beam soon.
On Sunday, USA Gymnastics announced that the gymnast, 24, would be withdrawing out of her third consecutive final, which will take place on Monday. “Simone has withdrawn from the event final for floor and will make a decision on beam later this week. Either way, we’re all behind you, Simone,” the organization said in a statement.
The beam final is set to take place on Tuesday and is the last gymnastics event final of the Games.
This latest announcement about Biles’ withdrawal comes a day after the organization confirmed her exit from Sunday’s vault and uneven bars finals.
