1:56Now PlayingSimone Biles gives her reaction after withdrawing from the women's team gymnastics final at the Olympic Games.
The American, one of the biggest names in Tokyo this summer, withdrew from the competition following one rotation, a stunning decision that opened the door for the team Russian Olympic Committee to surge to gold.
Her American teammates held on for silver after the 24-year-old realised following a shaky vault she wasn't in the right headspace to compete.
"I knew that the girls would do an absolutely great job and I didn't want to risk the team a medal through my screw-ups. Because they've worked way too hard for that. So I just decided that those girls need to go and do the rest of the competition," said Biles.
