Simone Biles, the superstar gymnast from the U.S., will not participate in the individual all-around competition at the Tokyo Games and will instead focus on her mental well-being, USA Gymnastics said in a statement early Wednesday. 

The decision comes a day after she pulled out of the team all-around competition.

Jade Carey, who finished ninth in qualifying, will take Biles’ place in the individual all-around competition.

The statement said Biles will be evaluated daily to see if she can "participate in next week’s individual event finals."

"We also have to focus on ourselves, because at the end of the day we’re human, too," Biles said. "So, we have to protect our mind and our body, rather than just go out there and do what the world wants us to do."
