The four-time Olympic gold medalist has not competed since withdrawing from the women's team final last Tuesday.
It's official: Simone Biles will make her Olympic return.
USA Gymnastics
confirmed the news Monday that Biles will compete along with all-around gold medalist Suni Lee in Tuesday's balance beam final, the last event in women's gymnastics at the Tokyo Olympics.When Biles takes to the beam, it will be a full week since she has competed. Biles dropped out of the women's team final last Tuesday, saying that she wanted to focus on her mental health following a bout of what gymnasts call the "twisties."
"For anyone saying I quit, I didn't quit," Biles wrote in an Instagram video explaining the twisties. "My mind and body are simply not in sync...I don't think you realize how dangerous this is on hard/competition surface. Nor do I have to explain why I put health first.
"Physical health is mental health."
Filling in for Biles on vault on Sunday, MyKayla Skinner won a silver medal before predicting that Biles would return for the balance beam final.
