Simone Biles has caused serious concern for Team USA at this year’s Olympics showdown that’s being hosted in Paris, France.
The star athlete suffered a serious and scary injury while qualifying for the competition but despite that, she still managed to pick herself up and perform.
Biles nearly perfected her mega return to the Olympics but then things did go downhill for a bit after her injury scare.
She appeared to have injured herself during the warmup phase while carrying out a series of floor exercises. On that note, she was seen being examined by medical staff and therefore required taping under her lower left leg as well as ankle.
There was a lot of concern as all eyes were on the star in terms of whether or not she would be given the clearance to go ahead and carry on with her routine.
Experts revealed how the star ended up stretching her calf muscle by jogging up and down but then stepped out of the routine briefly so she could carry on with her floor exercise.
Medical staff was called in to examine and they felt an intervention was required in the form of medical tape around her legs.
After that, she refused to give up and continued to jog up and down and then went on to perform a floor exercise of great complexity. This gave her a massive and impressive score on the board of 14.6.
