Simone Biles’s further participation in the Tokyo Olympics looks even cloudier after USA Gymnastics confirmed she will not compete in the finals of the vault or uneven bars.
“After further consultation with medical staff, Simone Biles has decided to withdraw from the event finals for vault and the uneven bars,” USA Gymnastics said in a statement issued on Saturday morning in Tokyo. “She will continue to be evaluated daily to determine whether to compete in the finals for floor exercise and balance beam.”
