There are days when people find it taxing to perform the same tasks they have been carrying out for so long. However, it is understandable when people feel that way. After all, not every day is the same. But people did not react that way when Simone Biles withdrew from the events at the Tokyo Olympics.

Immediately after withdrawing, the gymnast received myriads of hate comments. All in all, people were reluctant to relate with the athlete.

What did Simone Biles say after returning home from the Tokyo Olympics?

Simone Biles addressed this issue during an interview after returning home from the meet. The gymnast was aware that people might be disappointed over her withdrawal from multiple events at the meet. However, she was not hoping to get the reaction she received right after.

Although she did not have to justify her reasons for withdrawing from her events, she felt that people should know about her plight too before judging the athlete. Reflecting on the meet, Biles said, “If I still had my air awareness, and I just was having a bad day, I would have continued.?

?But it was more than that,? the two-time Olympian added. Sensing people would still be unable to relate to her ordeal, she continued to provide an analogy. The gymnast narrated, ?Say up until you?re 30 years old, you have your complete eyesight.?

?One morning, you wake up, you can?t see s***, but people tell you to go on and do your daily job as if you still have your eyesight. You?d be lost, wouldn?t you? That?s the only thing I can relate it to,? the Olympian continued.

Biles then questioned the people criticizing her. She asked, ?I have been doing gymnastics for 18 years. I woke up ? lost it. How am I supposed to go on with my day??
