On Sunday, as Biles was preparing for her floor routine, her left ankle and lower leg were wrapped. She was also seen limping during the event. Despite the circumstances, she gave an outstanding performance and astonished her fans by recording 59.566 points to clinch the top all-around spot.
On the same day, Landi reported that Biles was feeling better by the end of the session and that there were no issues with the 27-year-old continuing with the event. The concern regarding Biles was significant, given her history of prioritizing her health, as she withdrew from the 2020 Tokyo Olympics due to Twisties.
Landi went on to say (via USA Today), “Just a little pain in her calf. She felt it a little bit on the floor. And we taped it to kind of (tighten) it up.”
It is worth mentioning that Simone Biles and Team USA have already taken on the floor as the game for the women's team final commenced at 12:15 p.m., today July 30. After performing in this event, she will be next seen demonstrating her outstanding form at the Women’s Artistic Gymnastics All-Around Final on Thursday, August 1, at 11:15 a.m. CT. This means nothing is going to stop the four-time gold medalist from adding more gold.
