• Biles He retires jumping and asymmetric: "It could be broken by 20 places"

One time.

Just one time.

Simone Biles once wants to compete in the Tokyo 2020 Games before going home to Spring, Texas, and starting the healing that should take her to the

Paris 2024 Games

and, from there, to the moon.

This Tuesday

(10.50 Spanish time)

, the American will reappear at the Ariake Gymnastics Center to look for a medal on the balance beam.

A bet as risky as it is brave.

A strange bet.

Why? Because after the asymmetric ones, the balance beam is the least good device for Biles, where his gold was not insured, even in his best form. In the last

World Cup in Stuttgart 2019

he took the title, yes, but five years ago, at the

Rio 2016 Games he

could only hang the bronze and now it seems difficult for him to get on the podium. Perhaps that is why he has decided to return: he does not demand genius on the balance beam, as is the case with the colt on the ground. Perhaps that is why he has decided to return: on the balance beam there are not so many aerial turns, those that in recent days caused so much dizziness.

In the classification she scored the seventh best score behind the Chinese

Chenchen Guan

and

Xijing Tang

and the American

Sunisa Lee

, winner of the full contest, although, in this case, her position will be the least. The mere fact of returning to compete is a victory for Biles, a victory he has been fighting all week. With double sessions in a private gym, the gymnastics has worked apparatus by apparatus to take part in some final.

He tried it with the asymmetrical ones, but he had to come back on Sunday, too soon.

He squeezed himself to the ground, this Monday, but dizziness prevented him.

And finally he will be on the balance beam, the last possible chance not to leave home, in Spring, Texas, empty, hardly having enjoyed the tapestry that is his home.

One time.

Just one time.

At least once Simone Biles wants to compete in the Tokyo 2020 Games.
