Tennis star Rafael Nadal is the latest athlete to voice his support for gymnast Simone Biles, who withdrew from several events at the Tokyo Olympics, citing her mental health. Nadal told "CBS Evening News" anchor Norah O'Donnell that he respects her decision "100%."
"If you don't feel ready, you have been working so hard during all your life to achieve your dream. She achieved amazing things, and I am sure she will be back.
