Simone Biles will make a dramatic return to the Tokyo Olympics by competing in the women's beam final on Tuesday, USA Gymnastics has announced.
The 24-year-old American has not competed since she withdrew early in the women's team final last week, citing a desire to protect her mental health.
We are so excited to confirm that you will see two U.S. athletes in the balance beam final tomorrow – Suni Lee AND Simone Biles!! Can't wait to watch you both! — USA Gymnastics (@USAGym) August 2, 2021
However, Biles has been confirmed on the official start-list as the third of eight finalists.
USA Gymnastics tweeted: "We are so excited to confirm that you will see two US athletes in the balance beam final tomorrow – Suni Lee and Simone Biles!!"
