Biles said she was putting her mental health first when she withdrew from the gymnastics team event after one rotation. The US women won silver there. She also chose not to compete in the all-around. American Sunisa Lee won gold in that event.
MyKayla Skinner, who had the fourth highest score in vault during qualifications, will compete in vault finals for the US alongside Jade Carey, who finished with the second highest score. Biles was the defending Olympic champion in the vault.
