Simone Biles is undoubtedly an athletic superstar, often defying the laws of physics on the mats. Whether in a gymnastics arena or before she tosses the MLB ball, Biles’s aerial flips are cause enough for fans to erupt in cheers. But this time it’s not for any of the reasons—rather, it’s an Olympic promo that has touched the hearts of many. The narrative replayed the moment of Biles’s horrifying experience with twisties during her vault event in the Tokyo Olympics. Gymnasts explain twisties to be like a mental barrier.

The ad instantly struck those who remember the backlash that one of the greatest athletes of all time, Simone Biles, faced after withdrawing from the last day of the Olympics finals, citing “mental health.” Her rise to unprecedented success in the sport inspired Coca-Cola’s marketing wizards—who served it up with a dash of emotions to make an impression, leaving many in tears.

Simone Biles’s vault rekindles old memories

The “Pause is Power” ad directed by Kim Gehrig and inspired by Biles’ narrative was shared on Instagram by Powerade accompanied by the caption, “@SimoneBiles, we’re so proud to be on this journey with you. 💪 #PauseIsPower”. “The Vault,” stole the show, with its flurry of news coverage about Biles, that grabbed the public’s interest. After performing a standard vault, she spun in slow motion in front of a dark backdrop, hearing her own voice reflect on her hardships and witnessing memories from her personal life play out. Ahead of the Paris Olympics, Coca-Cola sports drink’s Olympic ad launched a limited-edition product called Powerade Gold.

The pure action-based ad emphasized the significance of “taking a pause” and prioritizing one’s well-being. The international campaign runs with the slogan “Pause is Power” to convey to the public and media alike that the competing athletes are still very much human. The exact message brought much hate for Biles despite then holding 4-gymnastics named moves including many other laudits for the country.

Fans moved to tears by the gymnastics master

You know your fans are loyal when they stick through thick and thin with you, just like Simone Biles’s. Under her ad, one fan shared their pure emotions saying, “I was brought to tears not because of sadness, but because you have shown, your courage, power of pause is healing, it’s invigorating, it’s rejoicing in yourself your soul, and pushing forward who and why you are a champion and honestly loving trusting who you are, YOU GOT THIS.” Biles has always exemplified the paragon of steadfastness and left an indelible mark on this user here.

“Powerful message… she took a much needed break regardless of 22 what ppl said and came back more powerful than ever!!!!,” said another, applauding her gutsy stance on mental health. Biles has been a harbinger of mental health and has helped countless others reclaim their sanity back and this particularly resonated with this user who commented as such.

An ardent fan chronicled the heartfelt emotion, saying, “I remember when you were going through this, and I’m so glad that you made the decision to take care of yourself and looking out for your teammates. This is a great characteristic of a leader. You’re still and will always be the GOAT of gymnastics” .This comes in clutch due to the fact that she’s always been a team player and given primacy to the wellbeing of others as well, in addition to hers, making her a laudable figure. Another wrote, “Gave me chills! Such an inspiration”. Having vanquished her intrusive thoughts and the voices in her head, she has indeed bounced back strong, more robust than ever in her stance and gait, as exclaimed by the user.

Some merely saw her brilliance, praising her as an inspiration for many gymnasts and sportsmen, as well as for paving the tough path for future generations to come.
