Simone Biles canceled her start in the individual all-around competition in Tokyo after the team final. Support comes from many quarters.
US gymnastics star Simone Biles (24) canceled the individual all-around at the Olympic Games in Tokyo. Before that, she had already dropped out of the team competition due to mental problems. A medical examination showed that it was not ready to start. Biles wants to focus on their mental health. It is not yet clear whether she will take part in competitions next week.
At the end of the statement, the US Gymnastics Federation also wrote: “We wholeheartedly support Simone’s decision and praise her courage to put her well-being in the foreground. Her courage shows once again why she is a role model for so many.”
Lots of support
There was already a lot of prominent support after Biles’ exit in the team final. From White House Spokeswoman Jen Psaki, 42, “Gratitude and support are what Simone Biles deserves.” The sportswoman is still the greatest, “and we are all fortunate to be able to see her in action”. According to media reports, a spokesman for the International Olympic Committee (IOC) also stated that Biles had “great respect” for Biles’ decision and supported it.
Simone Biles is one of the superstars of the Tokyo Summer Games. The four-time gold medal winner from Rio was one of the favorites in six competitions. The fact that she puts her health in the foreground is also praised by the former First Lady Michelle Obama (57). : “Am I good enough? Yes I am. The mantra I practice every day. @Simone_Biles, we are proud of you and we keep our fingers crossed for you.”
