Simone Biles will compete in the women’s beam final. USA Gymnastics confirms it. The competition, scheduled for tomorrow at the Ariake Gymnastics Arena at 5:50 pm (10.50 am Italian time), is the last round of medals for women’s artistic gymnastics at the Tokyo Olympics. “We are thrilled to confirm that tomorrow you will see two US athletes in the final on the beam: Suni Lee and Simone Biles. We look forward to seeing you both,” reads a statement. The American gymnast withdrew from both the team final and the other five individual competitions, including the bodyweight one, due to the ‘twisties’, the moments of mental blackout that make gymnasts’ exercises dangerous, especially during the flight phase. . His willingness to talk openly about his problems has garnered widespread praise as the sport comes to terms with the fact that even the best stars need mental wellbeing.
