Justin Bieber has Simone Biles’ back. The pop star took to Instagram to pen a lengthy post showing support for the gymnast after she withdrew from the Individual All-Around Final in the Tokyo Olympics, which is set to take place on Thursday. “Nobody will ever understand the pressures you face! I know we don’t know each other but I’m so proud of the decision to withdraw. It’s as simple as - what does it mean to gain the whole world but forfeit your soul. Sometimes our no’s are more powerful than our yes’s. When what you normally love starts to steal your joy it’s important we take a step back to evaluate why,” he wrote.

So proud of you @simonebiles,” the post concluded. Simone reacted in the comment section with a crying emoji and a heart emoji. Simone’s exit from the All-Around Final comes after she also pulled out of the Women’s gymnastics team finals on Tuesday shortly after her vault routine. The athlete spoke out on Tuesday, talking to “Today” host Hoda Kotb about her decision, saying she taking things one day at a time. “Physically, I'm good, I'm in shape. Emotionally, that varies on the time and the moment, you know, coming to the Olympics and being the head star of the Olympics is not an easy feat. We're trying to take it one day at a time, and we'll see,” she shared. -- Stephanie Swaim
