Simone Biles captured her seventh Olympic medal on the balance beam early Tuesday morning in Tokyo.

NBC will re-air Biles' performance on the balance beam in primetime Tuesday night as part of its primetime telecast.

How can I watch Simone Biles in women’s balance beam tonight?

Who is competing for Team USA in balance beam?

Biles finished seventh in qualifiers with a 14.066, while Lee finished third at 14.200 — meaning they will both have a chance to earn a medal in the final women's gymnastics' event.

“Saturday Night Live” writer and personality Michael Che came under fire after sharing an offensive joke about Olympics gymnast Simone Biles on Instagram, later clearing his account of all posts.

Will Simone Biles compete in any other Olympics events?

After qualifying for every possible event women's gymnastics offers — an achievement she didn't even reach in her record-shattering 2016 Olympics — Biles had gradually withdrawn from every other event before balance beam.

Since balance beam is the final event in the women's gymnastics lineup this year, this will be her last opportunity to win an individual medal in Tokyo. She earned a silver medal as part of the U.S. team's all-around performance.

In Sunday's vault, Mykayla Skinner — who initially wasn't anticipating having a chance to compete in the event — took advantage of Biles' absence, stepping in and winning a silver medal for the U.S. team.

U.S. gymnasts are still winning medals without the marquee name Simone Biles. NBCLX Storyteller Chase Cain, who is covering the Olympic Games from Tokyo, talks about the USA gymnastics team and how athletes are winning medals while supporting and relating to the pressure Biles said she is feeling.
