During the qualifiers on Friday, gymnastics superstar Simone Biles experienced a concerning moment while warming up for her floor routine. Biles landed awkwardly, prompting immediate attention from coaches as she was escorted to seats. Sunisa Lee, a fellow gymnast, showed concern for Biles as she walked off the floor. Coaches were seen tending to Biles, who appeared to be holding her lower leg or ankle area.
After putting on her slippers, Biles briskly made her way to the locker room tunnel. Upon re-emerging, she had her left ankle taped, indicating a potential injury to that area. Biles was observed walking around near the floor apparatus, testing out her mobility and comfort. It was evident that she had received a significant amount of tape to support her ankle.
Given Biles' status as one of the most decorated gymnasts in history, any injury concern raises alarms within the gymnastics community and among her fans worldwide. The extent of the injury and its impact on Biles' participation in upcoming events remain uncertain at this time.
