PARIS – Ankle injury? Calf injury?

Who cares?

The GOAT has arrived at the Paris Olympics and it apparently is going to take more than a tweak, a limp and some nervous moments to slow her down.

Simone Biles suffered what appeared to be a left ankle injury during qualifications here at the Paris Olympics, but in a nod to her dominance, she was still strong enough to almost certainly qualify for the all-around competition as well as the finals on three of the four disciplines — beam, floor and vault.

Just moments after giving a near flawless beam, Biles appeared to have injured herself during a warm-up tumbling pass on the floor exercise.
