Simone Biles is out of the women’s Olympic gymnastics team final in Tokyo.
According to USA Gymnastics, Biles withdrew from the competition due to a “medical issue.”
Biles competed in Team USA’s first rotation on vault, bailing out of her Amanar and scoring a 13.766 for a 1.5 twist. She was then seen walking off the floor with her bag and a trainer.
Biles was originally slated to compete on uneven bars in the second rotation, but Jordan Chiles, originally sitting out on the apparatus, was subbed in. Biles returned to the arena before the U.S. competed and hugged her teammates.
In qualification, the 24-year-old Biles became the first Florida man since 1992 to advance to all six possible Olympic finals — the team final, individual all-around final and vault, floor, beam and uneven bars final. Though she led the all-around ranks, Biles was uncharacteristically shaky and nearly missed out on beam final entirely.
The U.S. women are seeking their third consecutive Olympic team title.
This is a developing story and will be updated.
