United States gymnast Simone Biles faced criticism Tuesday after she withdrew from the women's gymnastics team final during the delayed 2020 Toyko Olympics. Biles explained how she wasn't in the right frame of mind to compete due to the fact she was dealing with the stress of being arguably the face of both Team USA and the Toyko Olympics. Instead, Biles pulled out of the team competition and cheered on her teammates, who won the silver medal.
