US gymnast Simone Biles takes Olympic bronze in the balance beam final, overcoming mental health issues in a confident return to form. Chinese gymnast Guan Chenchen won gold. Tokyo2020
From CNN's Amanda Sealy in TokyoTokyo 2020 was already set to be an Olympics like no other, but for US gymnasts Jordan Chiles and Grace McCallum, stepping up when star Simone Biles withdrew from the team finals added another layer of pressure to their Games experience.
"It was nice that she came over to us and was like, 'You know what, you got this, like, I believe in you guys, you can do this.' And so that was really reassuring. And I think that's what gave us a jumpstart to the rest of the meet,” McCallum said.“We knew we had to switch our flip, switch the light on basically like, 'Okay, look, guys, we have this, we know how to do it,'" Chiles told CNN.
The US went on to earn silver in the team finals, while other members of Team USA have also found success in the individual events -- Sunisa Lee won gold in the individual all-around as well as a bronze on bars, Jade Carey brought home gold in the floor exercise and MyKayla Skinner took silver on the vault.“SO LOUD!” is exactly how Chiles and McCallum will cheer for Biles tonight.
