Simone Biles will return to the Olympics competition in the balance beam finals. As millions of Americans face eviction, President Joe Biden wants landlords to hold off for a month. And hundreds of flights were canceled, leaving travelers stranded.
�� Happy Monday! It's Laura, with all the news you need to know.
But first, she used to be bullied, now look at her. �� A Connecticut woman who used to be bullied for her big mouth is now a proud Guinness World Record holder.
Biles is back, baby
Simone Biles feels good enough again to give it another go. USA Gymnastics said Monday that Biles would do the last event final, balance beam, scheduled for Tuesday night. It will be her first competition since she withdrew from the women’s team final last Tuesday night, citing concerns for her mental health and physical safety. She also withdrew from Thursday night’s all-around competition, though she was in the stands to watch teammate Suni Lee become the fifth consecutive American to win the Olympic title, as well as the event finals for vault, uneven bars and floor exercise. Biles came to Tokyo as the biggest star of these Olympics, projected to win a record five gold medals. But she developed a case of “the twisties,” a loss of air awareness that can have catastrophic consequences for a gymnast.
