Top Five Worst Injuries Gymnastics GOAT Simone Biles Has Faced

25-year-old Simone Biles is inarguably the most decorated gymnast of all time. Biles has a combined total of thirty-two Olympic and World Championship medals to her name. Speaking to her fans on Instagram, Biles answered many questions in a recent Q&A session. She also talked about the worst injury she ever had, and notably, it wasn’t on the gymnastics floor.

Simone Biles's foot injury

Biles detailed the injury in an episode of "Simone vs. Herself" that was shot on May 24. She explained that she had aggravated an issue with a ligament in her foot during training in May and had struggled to properly rehab the injury through the intense few months before going to Tokyo.

Biles was also suffering from a kidney stone


Biles was forced to visit an emergency room in Doha during the competition after complaining of abdominal pain over the weekend. Initially believed to be appendicitis, scans found a large kidney stone which caused her considerable pain. Biles didn’t pass the stone and left the hospital — still competing despite the pain.

Biles suffered from Twisties


Twisties is a term gymnasts use to describe an almost inexplicable feeling where they are unable to perform a simple twisting skill that they must have practiced thousands of times in the gym. Biles once told that she was experiencing twisties.

When Biles wasn't suffering from physical but facing mental injury

The U.S. gymnast confirmed that she is not physically injured, but her status for the rest of the Olympics remains in doubt. Later it was confirmed that she wasn't in a peace mentally.
