Simone Biles has been supported by former Olympian Michael Phelps after she pulled out of two gymnastics events for the sake of her mental health. The 24-year-old gymnast won four gold medals for team USA at the 2016 Olympics in Rio, and has admitted that pressure of living up to that success at the current games in Tokyo has been tough to deal with. Simone pulled out of the womenâs gymnastics team final earlier this week after stumbling in her vault routine, and later said her mental health had got the better of her as she revealed she would also be backing out of Thursdayâs (29.07.21) individual all-round final.
