American gymnast Simone Biles has withdrawn from tomorrow's floor final at the Tokyo Olympics but is yet to make a decision on whether she will compete in the beam final on Tuesday.

The four-time Olympic champion had already withdrawn from the women's team final and individual all-around final to focus on her mental health.

She also withdrew from today's vault and uneven bars finals.

A tweet from USA Gymnastics said: "We're all behind you, Simone."
