Despite a calf injury, Simone Biles is set for all four events in the Olympic team finals. The U.S. team, heavily favored to win gold, has Biles performing last in three events.

Despite a recent calf injury, Simone Biles is set to compete in all four events during Tuesday night's Olympic team finals.

Biles tweaked her left calf while warming up for floor exercise during qualifying on Sunday but returned strong, posting top scores in floor and vault, and leading in the all-around.

Initially, U.S. team leaders considered giving Biles a break during the uneven bars event, but she will participate in all events instead. The U.S. team, favored to win gold, includes Jordan Chiles, Sunisa Lee, and 2020 Olympic champion Jade Carey, though Carey will sit out the floor exercise due to illness.
