Tokyo Olympics Artistic Gymnastics
TOKYO (AP) — A week after exiting two events at the Tokyo Olympics, U.S. Gymnast Simone Biles stuck the landing and won a bronze medal in today’s balance beam competition.
The American gymnastics superstar delivered during the women’s balance beam final. Biles drilled a slightly altered routine in front of a crowd that included IOC President Thomas Bach a week after taking herself out of several competitions to focus on her mental health.
Biles earned her seventh career Olympic medal while dealing with a mental block surrounding twisting. She scored a 14.000. Chinese teammates Guan Chenchen and Tang Xijing finished first and second.
