Four-time Olympic champion Simone Biles dropped a bombshell by pulling out of the women’s gymnastics team final at the Tokyo Games.

She was replaced by a teammate after the vault, with the Americans going on to claim the silver medal.

Biles says she pulled out due to mental health concerns, adding that she will decide later on whether to participate in the individual finals – where she is on course to becoming the first woman since 1968 to retain the all-around title.
