Biles does not regret prioritizing her mental health

During the Tokyo Olympics 2020, Biles experienced ‘twisties’, a state in which the athletes feel a mental block when they are in mid-air. As a result, she was not mentally prepared to perform gymnastics in the competition. She immediately withdrew from the competition, prioritizing her mental health.
