The biggest news early Tuesday morning may very well end up being the biggest news of the entire Olympics: Simone Biles was removed from the gymnastics team finals. This happened right around the time we were planning to send today’s newsletter, so we don’t have all the details yet, but she competed on the vault and then spent time talking to a team trainer before being pulled.
