Simone Biles will not defend her Olympic gold in Thursday's all-around final.
She needs to focus on her own mental well-being.
"After further medical research, Simone Biles has withdrawn from the individual all-around final in the Tokyo Olympics to focus instead on her mental well-being," the US Gymnastics Association wrote in a statement.
Yesterday, the American gymnastics star chose to withdraw from the team final.
The 24-year-old announced that she did it because of the high expectations she had.
"We wholeheartedly support Simone's decision and commend her courage to prioritize her well-being," the United States Gymnastics Association wrote on Twitter.
The American Confederation also points out that Biles shows great courage with her decision - and that this in turn explains why she is a role model for so many.
