Ariake Gymnastics Centre, Tokyo (CNN) China's Guan Chenchen won gold in the women's balance beam final at the Tokyo Olympics as US gymnastics star Simone Biles overcame mental health challenges to claim a bronze. Biles' psychological well-being has been the focus of attention since she withdrew from the women's team final last week. The 24-year-old then didn't compete in four individual finals at the Tokyo Olympics -- the all-around individual competition, the vault, the uneven bars and floor -- but returned to great applause from her US teammates seated in one corner of the Ariake Gymnastics Centre. "We're all a little bit older now and we can speak for ourselves. We're human and there are things going on behind the scenes that we're also trying to deal with on top of sports."
