Simone Biles has withdrawn from two more women’s gymnastics event finals in the Tokyo Olympics, and teammate MyKayla Skinner is already set to replace her.
According to People, Biles was supposed to compete in the individual finals for vault and uneven bars on Sunday as Olympic officials stated they were evaluating her daily, but the USA Gymnastics Team announced in a statement on Saturday that the 24-year-old would no longer compete.
“Today, after further consultation with medical staff, Simone Biles has decided to withdraw from the event finals for vault and the uneven bars. She will continue to be evaluated daily to determine whether to compete in the finals for floor exercise and balance beam,” their statement read.
“MyKayla Skinner, who had the fourth-highest score in vault during qualifications, will compete in vault finals for the U.S. alongside Jade Carey, who finished with the second-highest score,” gymnastics officials stated.
