The four-time Olympic champion withdrew from the team's event mid-competition on Tuesday citing mental health concerns.
she was supposed to enter—four individual events plus the team competition—she would have brought her Olympic gold medal tally to nine, one more than the all-time record for a U.S. female athlete, currently held by former swimmer Jenny Thompson.
While Michael Phelps won eight gold medals in the same Olympics, no female U.S. Olympian has ever claimed that number of gold medals at a single games.
