American gymnast Simone Biles said she withdrew from the team finals on Tuesday due to mental health issues.

Biles burst into tears while addressing the media after the women's team gymnastics final in which Team USA won the silver medal.

"Whenever you find yourself in a high stress situation, you freak out," he said.

"I have to focus on my mental health and not jeopardize my health and well-being."

"We have to protect our body and our mind," added Biles.

"It just sucks when you're fighting with your own head."

Biles said that those who compete are "not just athletes, we are people at the end of the day."

The team plans to have a "mental rest day" tomorrow, Biles added.

This morning, Team USA took the silver medal in the women's gymnastics team competition after superstar Simone Biles retired.

After the event, Biles said that she is proud of how her team stepped up.

"I'm proud of how the girls stepped up and did what they had to do. I owe it to the girls, it has nothing to do with me. I'm very proud of them," she said.

When asked what he said to the rest of the team when he retired, Biles said he told them: "You have done all the training, you can do it without me and everything will be fine."

After retiring, Biles told the BBC that he is "dealing with things internally."

"I'm just dealing with things internally that will be fixed in the next few days," he said.

Biles's withdrawal from the team gymnastics competition came after he scored a disappointing 13,766 score on the vault in the first rotation of the team event.

The International Gymnastics Federation confirmed shortly thereafter in a tweet that Biles would not participate in the team competition again, without giving a reason for the withdrawal.

I know I forget and it makes it seem like the pressure doesn't affect me, but damn it's hard sometimes hahaha.

The Olympics are not a joke! "

As the women's gymnastics team event progresses, a CNN team in attendance reports seeing Simone Biles clapping and cheering for her teammates from the bench.

Osaka was born in Osaka, Japan, and was awarded the honor of lighting the Olympic cauldron to officially open the Games.

Vondrousova, finalista del Abierto de Francia de 2019, avanzó con una victoria por 6-1, 6-4. La jugadora de 22 años se enfrentará a la española Paula Badosa o a la argentina Nadia Podoroska.

Kevin McDowell, sobreviviente de cáncer, hizo historia para Estados Unidos en los Juegos Olímpicos

Por Amanda Sealy

Kevin McDowell terminó sexto en el triatlón individual masculino el lunes, el resultado más alto de un estadounidense en ese evento de los Juegos Olímpicos.

El logro es más difícil de conseguir de lo que la mayoría de la gente cree, ya que McDowell fue diagnosticado con linfoma de Hodgkin en 2011.

McDowell atribuyó algunos consejos clave a superar la quimioterapia.

"Una señora se me acercó y me dijo: 'Escucha, vive tu vida lo más normal posible. No te sientes y pienses, pobre de mí, qué me estoy perdiendo, todas estas cosas, y piensa en todas las cosas que se pierden, sino que cambia la perspectiva de lo que puedes hacer, no de lo que no puedes hacer, a través de la quimioterapia y el cáncer'", dijo McDowell.

"Honestamente, eso me ayudó a superar mi batalla contra el cáncer", agregó. "Concéntrate en lo positivo, no en lo negativo".

McDowell compite a continuación en el relevo de triatlón mixto el sábado.

Esgrimista argentina recibe propuesta de matrimonio tras perder su combate

La esgrimista argentina María Belén Pérez Maurice perdió la oportunidad de obtener una medalla en los Juegos Olímpicos de Tokio este lunes. Pero después de su combate, su novio tenía una sorpresa.

La esgrimista, de 36 años, se marchará de los Olímpicos con un anillo, tras aceptar una propuesta de matrimonio sorpresa de su entrenador y pareja.

Pérez Maurice estaba en medio de su entrevista posterior al partido, tras su derrota por 15-12 ante la húngara Anna Marton en el sable individual femenino, cuando Lucas Guillermo Saucedo le propuso matrimonio con una gran nota manuscrita que decía "¿Quieres casarte conmigo?".

En las imágenes que se compartieron en Internet, se ve cómo se da la vuelta, ve el mensaje y grita antes de aceptar rápidamente la propuesta de matrimonio de su pareja desde hace 17 años, quien se puso de rodillas. La pareja se abrazó y compartió un beso.

"Ellos (la prensa) me dijeron que me diera la vuelta, y él tenía la carta. Me olvidé de todo. Me quedé en plan 'oh, Dios mío'", dijo Pérez Maurice a los periodistas.

"Estamos muy contentos. Somos muy buenos compañeros. Por supuesto, tenemos peleas, pero disfrutamos el uno del otro. Nos queremos mucho y queremos pasar la vida juntos".
