According to Biles, a case of the ‘Twisties’ led to her withdrawal. While we waited with bated breath for an explanation, the gymnastics world understood. However, she received unconditional love and support from her fans and supporters worldwide.

But today, USA Gymnastics announced the glorious news that the four-time gold medalist will return to competition. Alongside Tokyo Olympics 2020 women’s all around gold medalist and teammate Sunisa Lee, Biles will gun for her first gold medal at the Olympics. Having won the team silver without competing, we’re sure the gold will taste much sweeter.
This will be Simone Biles’ last attempt at winning a gold at this year’s Olympics. Although she’s been the most talked about athlete at the Tokyo Olympics, even more than swimming sensations Caleb Dressel and Katie Ledecky, she hasn’t added enough gold to her tally. Mental health and ‘Twisties’ aside, Biles knows what she’s about: winning.
