Simone Biles on winning bronze at the Olympics balance beam event: 'I was proud of myself just to go out there after what I've been through'
There was drama just minutes before the balance beam event final began, Romania’s Larisa Iordache withdrew with an ankle injury, with first reserve Urara Ashikawa of Japan taking her place.“I didn’t expect a medal today, I just wanted to go out there for me and that’s what I did.”Already the most decorated American gymnast, Biles’ career tally of Olympic medals now stands at seven won over two Games. It is not yet clear if this is the last we’ll see of her competing at Olympic events.
Biles, gymnastics’ biggest star and an overwhelming favorite going into this Games, had earlier withdrawn from the women’s all-around and the event finals for vault, uneven bars and floor exercise in what was becoming a torturous Olympics until Tuesday’s performance.
