Simone Biles, the lioness of gymnastics, has conquered the heights with seven Olympic medals, a feat matched only by a select few. Her 25 World Championship medals, 19 of which are gold, have bestowed upon her the title of the most decorated gymnast in the history of the sport, surpassing records set decades ago.

She has forged a legacy that transcends boundaries and motivates generations of aspirant athletes with her unending list of accomplishments. Even in the midst of her astounding victories, there is a story of vulnerability and a recent familiar human struggle she revealed.

Getting fit physically and mentally

She bravely withdrew from the Tokyo Olympics due to the “twisties,” and her return to the mat recently sparked a larger discussion about the significance of mental health in sports. During her time away, Simone made sure to focus on her well-being, both physically and mentally. The 2023 US Classic, scheduled to take place at the Now Arena in Hoffman Estates, Illinois, will be the stage for Simone Biles’ comeback. Along with Simone Biles, Jordan Chiles, Gabby Douglas, Sunisa Lee, Jade Carey and others are set to take part in the event which will pave a way to the Paris Olympics 2024.

Simone Biles is mentally and physically in training mode. “Lots of therapy, I go once a week for almost 2 hours,” she shared on her Instagram Stories, reflecting on her efforts to heal from past traumas as she readies herself mentally. She is also made waves at her gymnastics training camp and shared sneak peeks of her rigorous efforts physically. Fans worldwide eagerly await the return of the lioness to her territory. However, weeks before the US Classic, Simone revealed a surprising and somewhat embarrassing insecurity.
