US superstar Simone Biles is apparently performing at the Olympic Games in Paris with an injury. The 27-year-old returned to the podium for her vaults after her floor exercise with a bandaged left foot and limped. Despite the obvious limitation, she ran normally and performed her “Biles II”, the most difficult vault in women’s gymnastics.
Simone Biles is favorite for Olympic gold
The four-time Olympic champion then competed on the uneven bars and was celebrated by the spectators in the packed Bercy Arena. There were also numerous American celebrities in the audience who cheered on the gymnastics superstar. The nature of the injury was initially unclear. The news agency AP reported that she had injured her calf during her floor exercise.
Despite the handicap, Biles scored 59.566 points in the all-around competition and is considered the biggest favorite for Olympic gold.
