JAKARTA - The artistic gymnastics of the Tokyo 2020 Olympics officially ended and Simone Biles had to settle for a bronze medal she won in the balance beam event, Tuesday.

Simone Biles suddenly withdrew from the women's team final because she had made one mistake during the early jump. The US had to settle for silver in that number, while the gold was won by the Russian Olympic Committee (ROC).

She also decided not to appear in all competitions, including all around, jumping horses and crossbars due to mental health reasons.

She also could not defend her gold medal in the jumping horses she won in Rio 2016.

The 24-year-old gymnast later pulled back from the floor artistic gymnastics final for the same reason.
