Is Simone Biles competing today?
The uneven bars event final is being held Sunday, but Biles will not be competing. Despite winning her second gold medal in the women's all-around competition — where a gymnast competes on all four apparatuses — the uneven bars are not Biles' strong suit. During the qualification round last week, Biles finished in ninth place in the uneven bars, barely missing out on the uneven bars final on Sunday.
