UPDATED with latest schedule changes: Simone Biles will return to competition early Tuesday after bowing out of five events at the Tokyo Olympics. The Balance Beam finals are Biles’ last shot at an individual gold medal during the Tokyo Games.
One of Biles’ balance beam skills is a double-twisting double backflip dismount which, given her very real concerns about “the twisties” this past week, could prove daunting. Biles could end her routine with a simpler skill, like a double pike, to avoid the difficult maneuver.
Her U.S.A. Gymnastics cohort, Suni Lee, will also compete on the balance beam, attempting to win a fourth medal in Tokyo.
When:
Tuesday, August 3
Start time:
4:53 a.m. ET
