So much so that her mental health took a backstep. But before it took a toll on her performance, she took a break.

However, Today, Simone Biles is on the cover of Elle Spain with many other celebrities such as Grand Slam winner Garbiñe Muguruza. The magazine released 4 new covers for the May 2022 issue and Biles features in one of them.
