Upon her return earlier in August with renewed passion, Biles opened up in an interview highlighting self-care, saying, “I think even we as athletes tend to forget that because we’re only known as athletes and not valued as human beings. But it’s important to keep in contact with the human side of you.”

However, just days before the 2023 World Artistic Gymnastics Championships, where she will make her triumphant return to the global competition once more, there emerged some unsettling news regarding her ongoing struggles. This revelation rallied fans around their beloved queen once again.
