Simone Biles Olympic results
- 1 medal (silver)
Only one event at the 2021 Tokyo Olympics has been completed so far by Biles. She attempted the vault once during the team competition before withdrawing because she got the twisties, a mental condition that prohibited her from telling up from down while in the air. For her team’s efforts, she was awarded the silver medal.
Biles was a lock for the all-around final, as well as the vault, uneven bars, and floor exercise finals. She didn’t compete, though, in any of the individual championships. Even so, one gymnast from Team USA won a medal in every event.
