Simone Biles has pulled out of two more event finals at the Tokyo Olympics.
USA Gymnastics announced on Friday that Biles will not compete in Sunday’s vault or uneven bars event finals.
After further consultation with medical staff, Simone Biles has decided to withdraw from the event finals for vault and the uneven bars. She will continue to be evaluated daily to determine whether to compete in the finals for floor exercise and balance beam. pic.twitter.com/kWqgZJK4LJ— USA Gymnastics (@USAGym) July 31, 2021

MyKayla Skinner, who placed fourth in the qualifications for vault, will replace Biles, joining Jade Carey in the finals.
Biles previously withdrew from the Olympic team and individual all-around competition to focus on her mental health after suffering from a case of the “twisties.”
“We remain in awe of Simone, who continues to handle this situation with courage and grace,” USA Gymnastics said in a statement.
Biles will continue to be evaluated to determine if she can compete in the floor and balance beam finals next week.
