US superstar gymnast Simone Biles pulled out of two more Olympic finals at the 2020 Tokyo Games, Team USA said in a statement on Saturday. “After further consultation with medical staff, Simone Biles has decided to withdraw from the event finals for vault and the uneven bars,” the statement said.

“She will continue to be evaluated daily,” it added.

Simone will be skipping the event finals for vault and uneven bars. This decision comes after she lost her sense of where she is in the air in the earlier event.

Simone Biles has also qualified for Monday’s floor exercise final and Tuesday’s balance beam final. A decision on her availability for those two events is yet to be made.

“We remain in awe of Simone, who continues to handle this situation with courage and grace, and all of the athletes who have stepped up during these unexpected circumstances,” the statement further added.

Simone will be replaced in the vault by MyKayla Skinner. She was fourth on vault in the qualifications but Jade Carey and Biles were ahead of her as the USA is limited to two gymnasts per final.

Earlier on Friday, Simone took to her Instagram and explained the circumstances that led to her withdrawal.

“For anyone saying I quit. I didn’t quit,” she wrote on an Instagram story slide. “My mind and body are simply not in sync.”

“I don’t think you realise how dangerous this is on a hard/competitive surface. Nor do I have to explain why I put my health first. Physical health is mental health.”

Biles, then, explained that she was not dealing with these issues prior to leaving for the Tokyo Olympics. But her problems started the after qualifying round.

“It randomly started happening after prelims competition, the VERY next morning,” she said.

Simone calls the phenomenon the “strangest and weirdest thing, as well as feeling.”

“I have experienced them before. They’re not fun to deal with,” she said of the ‘twisties’, which are bothering her.

Simone said that she can’t say how long will the twisties might affect her.

“Honestly, no telling. Time frame [is] something you have to take literally day-by-day, turn-by-turn.”
