Biles stepped back from her prepared performances during Tuesday's team event, noting that she was struggling mentally during her routines and feared a mistake could cost her teammates a medal. Her actions have contributed to a worldwide conversation about the mental health of Olympians and what more can be done to support individuals at the games.
