Simone Biles is expected to compete in all four event's during the team final competition on Tuesday despite appearing to injure her calf while warming up for her floor exercise routine during Sunday's qualifying round at the 2024 Paris Olympics.
Biles will compete last for the vault, balance beam and floor exercise routines, and she will perform second for the uneven bars.
The four-time gold medalist has high expectations for her at this year's Olympics after she withdrew from the Tokyo Olympics because of mental health issues. She previously captured her gold medals for the vault and floor exercise, along with the team and all-around, during the Rio Olympics in 2016.
Set in stone, ready to bring it home. ⤵️
