“You just have to push out those negative views and just keep pushing. I want to see how much I’m capable of, how talented I can be. And that’s why I came back, just to not have any regrets if I look back in 10 years.”

“So now I can really say I have no regrets, but maybe I might push it a little bit more to see,” said Biles.

Staying in a positive mindset is what she is doing right now. Currently, she has seven Olympic medals. Despite missing the first few events in Tokyo, she returned to the competition and won a bronze medal.

With the 2024 Paris Olympics not far away now, Biles’ return will set the events on fire. However, in her absence in Tokyo, many other gymnasts stepped up to the plate and showcased their talents.
