Date: August 2nd, 2021 5:40 AM Author: Motley pea-brained athletic conference Simone Biles is back.
U.S. Gymnasicts confirmed that she will compete in tomorrow's beam finals in Tokyo.
She earned bronze in the event in Brazil five years ago.
Biles had previously opted out of the individual all-around final, as well as the vault, uneven bars and floor exercise finals.
Biles had qualified for all individual events last week and was the favorite to win multiple gold medals entering the Tokyo Games. She had withdrawn from the team final a week ago, following the first event on vault.
She later told the media she had experienced "a little bit of the twisties" and no longer trusted her ability to compete. In a series of posts to her Instagram account on Friday, Biles explained she was still experiencing the phenomenon, in which gymnasts feel like they get lost in the air, and said her "mind and body are simply not in sync."
Biles was the reigning Olympic champion in the all-around, as well as on floor and vault.
