Simone Biles pulls out AGAIN at Tokyo 2020, gymnast withdraws from individual all-around competition final
Olympic champion Simone Biles, who sensationally withdrew from the artistic all-round final gymnastics final on Tuesday, has now ruled herself out of the all-around individual competition final at the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games.
Biles said she was withdrawing "to focus on mental health", which she also cited as the reason for her withdrawal from the all-around artistic final after one rotation at the Ariake Gymnastics Centre on Tuesday.
A statement from USA Gymnastics on Twitter read: "After further medical evaluation, Simone Biles has withdrawn from the final individual all-around competition.
