TOKYO —
Simone Biles is returning to competitors in Tokyo.
The 2016 Olympic champion will compete within the stability beam finals on Tuesday, just a little over per week after stepping away from the meet to give attention to her psychological well being.
“We’re so excited to verify that you will note two U.S. athletes within the stability beam ultimate tomorrow — Suni Lee AND Simone Biles!! Cannot wait to observe you each!” USA Gymnastics stated in a press release.
The 24-year-old Biles gained bronze on beam in Rio de Janeiro 5 years in the past and certified for the eight-woman ultimate on the Ariake Gymnastics Centre on the primary weekend of the Video games.
She eliminated herself from the crew ultimate on July 27 after a shaky efficiency on vault throughout the first rotation. She watched from the sidelines as her three American teammates accomplished the meet with out her; the U.S. took silver behind the crew generally known as the Russian Olympic Committee.
Biles later stated she was coping with points surrounding air consciousness, known as “the twisties” in her sport.
