Simone Biles spoke about what was behind her withdrawal in the team competition, and whether she would compete in Thursday’s all-around, where she is the defending champ. “We’re going to take it day by day,” she told TODAY’s Hoda Kotb.Simone Biles said her stunning withdrawal from Tuesday’s Olympic women’s gymnastics team competition wasn’t due to a physical injury, though emotionally, it was clear the pressure of the Olympics so far had taken a toll.
“Physically, I feel good, I’m in shape,” she told Hoda Kotb exclusively on TODAY. “Emotionally, that kind of varies on the time and moment. Coming here to the Olympics and being the head star isn’t an easy feat, so we’re just trying to take it one day at a time and we’ll see.”
Biles also said she wasn’t certain she would compete in Thursday’s all-around competition, where she is the defending champion.
“We’re going to take it day by day, and we’re just gonna see,” she said.
