Are there more gymnastics




















However, it was not clear whether Skinner, who on Sunday took Biles's place in the women's vault competition and won silver, was referring to the year-old's participation in the beam final or just generally after the Games are over. USA Gymnastics said on Sunday that Biles had withdrawn from Monday's floor exercise final, which was one of the four golds Biles won in Rio in , and would make a decision about her last scheduled final on the beam later this week. Biles had been expected to improve on her Rio Games gold haul after qualifying for all five individual finals in Tokyo but pulled out of the all-around, vault, asymmetric bars and floor exercise medal events in order to protect her mental health.

Biles shocked the world when she withdrew from the team final last week after a single vault, citing mental health issues. Neither the U. The U. Simone Biles exited the team final after one vault while dealing with a medical issue she confirmed was mental. They haven't medaled in the team event since earning the bronze in and have just six team medals in 21 Olympic appearances.

That said, the United States will hope that its competitors will fare better in the individual events. Biles will not participate in the all-around competition , the vault and uneven bars finals or the floor exercise ; her status for the balance beam is uncertain. Still, the U. Jade Carey and Suni Lee will be first up in the all-around final.

They both qualified for the event but neither ranked inside the top For the U. Jade Carey , one of the additional members of the U. Read more: Meet the U. Carey took advantage of a new Olympic qualifying system in which she participated in the Apparatus World Cup Series over the last three years, and her scores assured her of an individual invitation to the Olympic squad; with that individual spot, however, she could not compete in the team event.

Strong on vault and floor, Carey, an Arizona native who trains with her father Brian, is a consistent competitor. Biles also qualified for all four event finals, and said she will take each day at a time before deciding whether she will compete in those events.

Only the top eight qualifiers compete in each event final, with a maximum of two per country. She did compete on all apparatus for the all-around, however, which determines in which event finals she can participate.

A strong vaulter, her scores unfortunately did not qualify her for any of the event finals because two other teammates had higher scores. If Biles does not compete on vault, however, Skinner will step in since she finished fourth in the qualification round, and the top eight gymnasts are eligible.
