After her recent withdrawal from the Olympic competition, Simone Biles would be competing in the women's beam event final on Tuesday at the Tokyo Olympics.

USA Gymnastics announced that Simone Biles would officially be making her comeback at the competition, according to NBC Olympics.

USA Gymnastics confirmed that the world would not only witness one athlete from the U.S. as Simone Biles would join Suni Lee at the balance beam final. The governing body also said they could not wait to see the two athletes perform.

The beam would be the last opportunity for Simone Biles to compete in the Tokyo Olympics after she withdrew from the team final after one rotation. It was followed by her next four possible events, citing concerns about Biles' mental health.

Aside from the stress she's experiencing from the pressure, Biles said she was dealing with a case of the "twisties." It is a phenomenon gymnasts experience in which they feel disconnected between their minds and bodies.

The issue could be extremely dangerous, especially when gymnasts would be hurdling through the air, as gymnasts often lose track of where the ground is and lose control of how many times they're twisting, possibly leading to a rough performance worst, an injury.

Simone Biles is Regarded as The greatest female gymnast of all time

After Team USA's MyKayla Skinner took silver in the vault final on Sunday, an event that she was bumped into after Biles withdraw, Skinner told reporters that she believed Biles would be competing on beam.

Individual all-around gold medalist Suni Lee was also set to compete in the apparatus final. Meanwhile, one of Biles' four eponymous skills is a double-twisting double backflip beam dismount. However, she could end her routine with a simpler skill like a double pike if there would still be a concern of twisties on Tuesday.

Simone Biles narrowly squeaked into the beam final with a seventh-place finish during qualifications, after she scored 14.066.

During the qualification round, Biles became the first woman since 1992 to advance to the final in all six possible Olympic events. The team final, the vault, individual all-around final, uneven bars, balance beam, and floor event finals.

Widely regarded as the greatest female gymnast of all time, Simone Biles won five medals during the 2016 Olympics. She won gold in the team final, individual all-around, vault and floor finals, and bronze on beam.

Simone Biles had previously said that she was planning to retire after the Tokyo Games, which means that the beam would possibly be her final Olympic routine.

In April, she hinted that she could consider returning for the 2024 Paris Olympics as an event specialist.
