will not be defending her gold medal in the all-around final at the Tokyo Games -- the Olympics superstar has backed out of the competition to continue to focus on her mental health.
24-year-old Biles -- who withdrew from the team finals on Tuesday -- underwent further medical evaluation following the event ... and it was determined it was best she sat out Thursday's finals, USA Gymnastics said in a statement. Biles was the heavy favorite to win the event ... which would have secured the 5th gold medal of her career.
It may not be the end of Biles' Olympic run, however -- there's still a chance she returns to compete in the individual events next week ... but the team says it all depends on the results of her daily evaluations.
as she should purr
Good for her! 👏🏼🥇 She's already a legend! She already made it & got it, time for her to focus on herself while she's in her prime! You break your body down to make a fortune for others, but soon as you're hurt 🤕 u get a pat on the back then their placing bets on the next! 😒
Why did she went to Tokyo if she have this issues in the first place?
