Olympic star Simone Biles has triumphed in every gymnastics event, with the beam being the most challenging to her. Regardless, she continues to approach her fear with all her might, despite her recent setback at the biggest stage.

2021 was an eventful yet rewarding year for the 24-year-old athlete. Biles is the most decorated American gymnast and is regarded as the GOAT with 7 Olympic medals to her name.

Simone Biles gets candid with her fans

Coming fresh from a historic performance in Tokyo Olympics 2020, Simone has been touring on her Gold Over America tour. However, while she has been busy with her hectic schedule, Simone always finds time to connect with her fans online. Notably, in a recent ‘Q n A’ session on her Instagram story, Simone opened up on a reliving insight.

When a fan asked Biles,” Are you not afraid of the beam?”  Simone, always being honest with her fans, replied, “Nope. Even though it’s betrayed me multiple times.”

Biles also attached a video of her falling down from the beam. The American gymnast is one of the most successful Olympic stars; however, she is yet to taste gold in the women’s beam event. At her maiden Olympic Games, she won four gold medals but clinched the bronze in the beam event.
