2021 Olympics women’s gymnastics individual all-around final: How to watch online

The women’s gymnastics individual all-around final takes place on July 29 but will take place without the USA’s Simone Biles, who has pulled out due to mental health concerns. 

This Olympic cycle for gymnastics has been interesting, to say the least, as they usually are. The individual all-around, in particular, has always brought in many new and long-term fans who have a casual interest in the sport and full-blown expertise on the ins and out of gymnastics.

However, this year, I envision that this all-around final will be a bit different due to some last-minute changes. How this will impact the lineup and performances for athletes will be something that we’ll have to wait for.

We’ll be missing a few familiar faces, particularly one of the best gymnasts of all time: Simone Biles.

Biles, who has been struggling on the vault over the past few rounds, has been off of her game. She made the decision to pull out due to growing concerns for her mental and physical health as it relates to competing. This comes just a day before the individual all-around final.

Though I’d love to see Simone perform, I don’t want to see it at the expense of her health. The pressure of being good at your craft can weigh down on you, and you can always walk away at your own terms. I think the all-around will have something missing, but it doesn’t discount or take away from the other athletes that will be competing.
