\nOn Monday, USA gymnastics, the national governing body of gymnastics in the United States, announced on Twitter that gymnast Simone Biles would compete on Tuesday in the balance beam final after Biles had withdrawn last week from competing in the team finals, then withdrew from the individual all-around competition. She later withdrew from the event finals for vault, uneven bars and for floor exercise. USA Gymnastics tweeted, \u201cWe are so excited to confirm that you will see two U.S. athletes in the balance beam final tomorrow \u2013 Suni Lee AND Simone Biles!! Can\u2019t wait to watch you both!\u201d We are so excited to confirm that you will see two U.S. athletes in the balance beam final tomorrow \u2013 Suni Lee AND Simone Biles!! Can\u2019t wait to watch you both! USA Gymnastics (@USAGym) August 2, 2021 Earlier on Monday, Biles cheered on teammate Jade Carey as she won the gold medal in the floor exercise event. The last time Biles competed in the balance beam in the Olympics, in the 2016 Olympics in Rio de Janeiro at which she won four gold medals, she won the bronze medal. Biles pulled out of the prior events last week, citing suffering from the \u201ctwisties,\u201d in which the brains of gymnasts and divers lose connection with the body and the muscle memory that has been built in by years of practice suddenly fails. Last week, wanting to give evidence that what triggered her decision to withdraw from the team final and the individual all-round was a genuine physical issue, Biles posted videos of her practicing on the uneven bars and crashing to the mat when she attempted a dismount. Biles addressed her critics by writing on the first video, which showed her landing on her back, \u201cFor anyone saying I quit. I didn\u2019t quit, my mind and body are simply not in sync. As you can see. I don\u2019t think you realize how hard this is on hard\/competition surface. Nor do I have to explain why I put health first. Physical health is mental health. I\u2019m supposed to do 1 \u00bd more twists.\u201d In the second video, showing her landing on her feet and then falling, Biles wrote, reacting to claims she should have left the competition earlier, \u201cAlmost there but not quite. Still have \u00bd twist to go. No, this was not happening before I left the USA. It randomly started happening after prelims competition the VERY next morning. By that time NO an alternate was not allowed to be placed in my position for you \u2018know it alls.\u2019\u201d \u201cWe have 4 on a team for a reason,\u201d she continued. \u201cI chose to not continue competition in jeopardizing losing a medal (of any color) for the girls\/US. Also for my own safety and health.\u201d On her IG stories, Simone Biles responds to people who think she \u201cquit\u201d on her team by explaining the \u201cthe twisties\u201d she\u2019s been experiencing and what it feels like \u201cnot having your mind and body in sync\u201d\u2026. pic.twitter.com\/79hN973rkd \u2014 Kimberley A. Martin (@ByKimberleyA) July 30, 2021 During a Q & A session, Biles called the \u201ctwisties\u201d \u201cpetrifying,\u201d asserting, \u201cI have experienced them before. They are not fun to deal with. It\u2019s honestly petrifying trying to do a skill but not having your mind and body in sync.10\/10 do not recommend.\u2026 It\u2019s never transferred to bars and beam before for me it\u2019s strictly like floor and vault. Go figure, the scariest two\u2026 this time it\u2019s literally on every event, which sucks\u2026 really bad,\u201d according to the Daily Mail. After her initial withdrawal, Biles told reporters, \u201cWhenever you get in a high-stress situation, you kind of freak out. I have to focus on my mental health and not jeopardize my health and well-being. We have to protect our body and our mind. It just sucks when you\u2019re fighting with your own head.\u2026 I feel like I\u2019m also not having as much fun \u2014 and this Olympic Games I wanted it to be for myself and it felt like I was still doing for other people \u2014 and that hurts my heart that doing what I love has been taken away from me.\u201d The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
