Why did Simone Biles drop out of her other events?

Biles - a standout star of Rio 2016 - dropped out of the Olympic team gymnastics final on Tuesday, July 27 as the United States suffered a shock defeat at the hands of the Russians.

The 24-year-old failed to complete her two-and-half twist vault and landed poorly, leaving suspicions of an injured ankle - only for American team sources to suggest that she left the competition due to mental health issues.

Biles has qualified for all four of the apparatus finals and was set to become the face of these delayed Games.

The vault and uneven bars finals are on Sunday, August 1, then it’s the floor exercise on Monday, August 2, and balance beam the following day.

She came to Japan with realistic aspirations of winning five gold medals and equalling the Olympic record for a female athletes.

But Biles has pulled out of the women's individual all-around gymnastics final - due to be held on Thursday, July 29, to focus on her mental health.

A USA gymnastics statement read: "After further medical evaluation, Simone Biles has withdrawn from the final individual all-around competition at the Tokyo Olympic Games, in order to focus on her mental health.

"Simone will continue to be evaluated daily to determine whether or not to participate in next week's individual events finals.

"Jade Carey, who had the ninth-highest score in qualifications, will participate in her place in the all-around.

"We wholeheartedly support Simone's decision and applaud her bravery in prioritising her well-being.

"Her courage shows, yet again, why she is a role model for so many."
