A wave of support has poured in for US gymnastics superstar Simone Biles after she pulled out of a Tokyo Olympics event over mental health concerns.
"Simone, you've made us so proud. Proud of who you are as a person, teammate and athlete," said Sarah Hirshland, the Chief Executive of the US Olympic and Paralympic Committee. "We applaud your decision to prioritise your mental wellness over all else, and offer you the full support and resources of our Team USA community as you navigate the journey ahead."
White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki wrote on Twitter:"Gratitude and support are what [Biles] deserves. Still the GOAT and we are all just lucky to be able to see her in action."
