American gymnastics legend Simone Biles was eliminated from the women's team competition at the Tokyo Olympics on Tuesday;
In doing so, she gave up her quest to become the most successful Olympic athlete in the game.
After a bad attempt in the jumping horse - at the beginning of the women's team competitions - the word "withdrawal" appeared next to the name of the American player in the list of competitors, which means that she will not continue in this competition.
The International Gymnastics Federation confirmed that it would not continue to compete with the US team in the tournament, but indicated that it would still be entitled to receive any medal achieved by her country, a strong candidate for the coronation.
Russia win
But the announcement of the International Federation was in vain, after the women's team of the Russian Olympic Committee won the title, depriving Biles of achieving her Olympic dream by winning six golds in the Japanese capital, while the United States won the silver medal and Britain took the bronze.
Biles' withdrawal came while she was leading the team's defense of the Olympic gold medal and was looking to increase her Olympic yield this time to 6 gold after winning 4 gold at the previous session in Rio de Janeiro in 2016.
Biles, already one of the sport's greats, arrived in Tokyo aiming for a record medal count, including breaking the record of five golds in a single Olympics by a gymnast.
The American Gymnastics Federation said - today, Tuesday - that Biles' physical condition will be subject to a daily evaluation to determine the extent of her ability to continue in competitions, stressing that the withdrawal from the team came due to a health problem.
And if he won 6 golds, Biles' balance would reach 10 Olympic golds, and she would surpass Russian gymnastics champion Larisa Latynina, who won 9 golds over 3 tournaments in Melbourne 1956, Rome 1960 and Tokyo 1964, and she would become undisputed the greatest gymnast of all time.
