On her first day of competition at the 2024 Olympic Games, the gymnast Simone biles appeared to hurt her leg during a warm-up routine, an injury that caused concerns but ultimately did not keep her from completing her routines and finishing in first place.

After the competition, biles’s coach, Cecile Landy, downplayed the significance of the injury, she felt a little something in her calf.

Landy said: despite the injury, Bs posted high scores, including a competition High 15 point 8 on the Vault.

Joined by strong performances from her teammates, it was enough to secure a spot for the Us women’s gymnastics team in the team all-around Final on Tuesday, in which the Us is a favorite to win gold.

The individual all-around final is set for Thursday.

There are currently no concerns at the moment about biles’s ability to compete in those events.

Landy said biles appeared to hurt her leg during a warmup for the floor exercise, her second apparatus of the night.

After landing a pass, biles walked gingerly off the mat where she consulted with her coaches, then disappeared briefly from the floor.

Afterward she returned to have her ankle and lower calf wrapped with thick athletic tape.

Despite the injury, biles went on to complete her remaining routines, scoring a high of 15.8 on the Vault.

Never in her mind.

Was there a question of whether she would continue?

Landy said.
