The 24-year-old was expected to launch an all-out assault on the podium and record books in Tokyo but might not even match her five-medal effort at the 2016 Rio Olympics.

Simone Biles managed to qualify for all six gymnastic events at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.
Already regarded as one of the sport's all-time greats, Biles arrived in Tokyo targeting a record haul, including the mark of five gold medals at a single Olympics by a woman gymnast.
That target became much harder to hit, however, when she was bumped from the eighth and last spot in the bars final by Germany's Elisabeth Seitz.
There will now be no room for error if Biles hopes to rewrite the record of four gold's at a single Olympics she shares with the former-Czech Republic's Vera Caslavska, Russia's Larisa Latynina and Hungary's Agnes Keleti.
