After pulling out of multiple events to focus on her mental health, U.S. star gymnast Simone Biles was back on the mat for Tuesday's balance beam final at the Tokyo Olympics. And she won a bronze medal.
"I wasn't expecting to walk away with a medal. I was just going out there to do this for me and whatever happens, happens," Biles said after competition, adding that it "just meant the world to be back out there."
China's Guan Chenchen and Tang Xijing won gold and silver in the last Olympic event for women's artistic gymnastics.
It's the seventh Olympic medal for Biles, bringing her even with Shannon Miller as the U.S. gymnast with the most medals ever.
