“I feel like elite athletes are pretty tough, so we’re just, through pain or pleasure, we’re ready for whatever,” she said during her sitdown with Tirico. “So mainly, what you’re seeing here is, I was just trying to over rotate for good measure, and I did just that and almost knocked (coach) Laurent [Landi] on out. But it was good.”
Despite the apparent injury, Biles continued to compete with tape wrapped around her calf and went on to win four medals – three gold and one silver – over the course of the competition.
“Right now it’s just precautionary. We’re resting up as much as possible, we have a tour in a couple of weeks. I’m just going to rest and heal,” Biles told Today‘s Hoda Kotb Tuesday morning.
