‘I have to focus on my mental health’ – Simone Biles abruptly withdraws from team competition in gymnastics – sport – svenska.yle.fi

The women’s gymnastics team competition provided drama. After a failed start, the major US star suddenly thanked himself. There was initial speculation about the injury, but after the competition, Simone Biles commented on the whole thing.

Simone Biles was the big brunch in Tokyo on a Tuesday afternoon Finnish time.

After failing to land at the start of the gymnastics team competition, Biles chose to resign abruptly and was replaced by Jordan Chiles on the U.S. team.

Without the Bills, the United States would have failed to defend the gold medal from the 2012 and 2016 Olympics.

The Republic of China, made up of Russian athletes, won with a total of 169,528 points. The United States ranked second at 166,096 and the United Kingdom third at 164,096.

‘We are not just athletes’

After the competition, Biles commented on the situation. At first, it was speculated that Biles was injured, but that was not the case.

– After my performance, I didn’t want to continue. You must be 100 or 120 percent present. “Otherwise you will hurt yourself,” said Biles.

Biles revealed that she didn’t get it right and therefore chose to break up.

– I have to focus on my mental health. I cannot jeopardize my health or safety.

We are not just athletes, we are human and sometimes you just have to take a step back. I didn’t want to go out and do something stupid and hurt myself,” Beals said.

I know the press

No information was provided regarding Thursday’s competition.

We should protect our senses and our bodies and not go out and do what the whole world wants us to do. I don’t trust myself that much anymore, maybe because I’m getting older?

On Monday, Biles posted a post on Instagram Where she described her feelings before the Olympics.

It wasn’t an easy day, but I had it. Sure, sometimes I feel like I carry the weight of the whole world on my shoulders.

Biles wrote: “I make it seem like the stress doesn’t affect me, but it’s hard sometimes.
