Simone Biles has withdrawn from Thursday's individual all-around competition at the Tokyo Olympics in order to focus on her mental health, USA Gymnastics announced Wednesday night.
"After further medical evaluation, Simone Biles has withdrawn from the final individual all-around competition at the Tokyo Olympic Games, in order to focus on her mental health," the organization said in a statement. "Simone will continue to be evaluated daily to determine whether or not to participate in next week's individual event finals. Jade Carey, who had the ninth highest score in qualifications, will participate in her place in the all-around.
"We wholeheartedly support Simone's decision and applaud her bravery in prioritizing her well-being.
