Simone Biles has withdrawn from the vault and uneven bars event finals at the Tokyo Olympics as any further participation in the event continues to be in doubt. Biles, who withdrew from the team and all-around final, has cited a mental block on her complex skills and the need to prioritise her mental health.

After further consultation with medical staff, Simone Biles has decided to withdraw from the event finals for vault and the uneven bars," USA Gymnastics said in a statement on Saturday morning. She will continue to be evaluated daily to determine whether to compete in the finals for floor exercise and balance beam."
