TOKYO (AP) – Simone Biles says she will regroup Wednesday before deciding whether to defend her Olympic title in the all-around gymnastics final on Thursday.  Biles withdrew from Tuesday’s team final, after deciding following a shaky vault that she wasn’t in the right headspace to compete. Biles said later that she didn’t want to go into any of the events second-guessing herself.  With Biles looking on, her teammates took the silver medal, as the Russian Olympic Committee gymnasts won the gold.  The gold came a day after the ROC men’s team edged Japan for the top spot in the men’s final.  (Photo:  AP)
