Simone Biles plans to compete in balance beam final in Tokyo

Tokyo — Simone Biles plans to take part in the balance beam final at the Tokyo Olympics Tuesday, USA Gymnastics said. She pulled out of the other individual finals she qualified for, citing mental health issues.

The beam is her last chance to compete in the 2020 Games. USA Gymnastics said Suni Lee will also compete in that final. The 24-year-old Biles won bronze on beam in Rio de Janeiro five years ago and qualified for the eight-woman final at the Ariake Gymnastics Centre on the first weekend of the Games.
