Simone Biles injury: Coach reveals what happened, what’s next for star gymnast

Simone Biles’ coach revealed what exactly happened to the star U.S. gymnast during her 2024 Olympics debut Sunday, which resulted in her at one point crawling on the floor to compete.

Biles’ coach Cecile Landi said the gymnast “felt ‘a little pain in her calf’” while warming up on floor. Landi said there were no current plans for Biles to withdraw from any competitions or change her routines and said she wasn’t concerned about her performance going forward.

During her 30-second warmup before her floor performance, Biles was seen telling her coach “uh oh, not good,” after prepping her signature skill “the Biles” for her floor routine.

Biles was seen telling coaches “it’s really bad,” before she left the area with staff. She returned to her team a short time later still limping as medical staff taped her leg.

“It hurts to push off,” she was heard saying.

Landi said the issue popped up a couple of weeks ago and described it as minor.

Landi and her husband Laurent — who have long served as Biles’ personal coach in Texas — encouraged her to take a breath and keep going as Laurent applied heavy doses of tape to her leg.
