Simone Biles and Team USA have had a busy week, starting with their gold medal performance Tuesday in the women's gymnastics team final. Biles then followed that up with her gold medal Thursday in the individual all-around.
Biles appeared to tweak her calf during warm-ups on the floor exercise during qualifiers Sunday but has not appeared to be hampered by the injury in either team or all-around finals. Biles, 27, has more Olympic medals than any American gymnast in history and will have more chances to add to her total in the event finals, where she will compete in the vault, balance beam and floor exercise.
Here's everything you need to know about Simone Biles' upcoming schedule Friday.
