Nearly a week after withdrawing from the team finals to prioritize her mental health, USA Gymnastics announced Simone Biles will compete in the balance-beam finals on Tuesday. Considered to be the greatest gymnast of all time, Biles shocked the world by withdrawing from the team final on July 27 after a shaky performance on vault during the first rotation. She has not competed since. At the time, the team said she would be evaluated every day and that it would be making decisions accordingly about her competition status.
