She first had to withdraw from her sport in order to heal, with many hours spent in therapy.
The evening, though, began with massive disappointment. Moments before the gymnasts walked out into the arena, British Gymnastics announced that Jessica Gadirova had withdrawn from the competition “as a precautionary measure”. Gadirova had qualified for the final in third place and she had been one of the top medal prospects.
Biles continued her rock solid form throughout, easily navigating a secure uneven bars routine to earn another strong score of 14.333, the sixth highest score on the apparatus in the final despite it being her weakest. She then worked through another smooth and confident balance beam routine. By the final rotation, nothing but a catastrophe on the floor exercise could have stopped Biles from winning.
