The world champion athlete, Simone Biles, has successfully established her name in the world of sports. She won her medals at a very young age for her elite gymnastics. At Tokyo Olympics 2020, which took place as summer games in 2021, Simone Biles pulled out of the championships. The athlete was dealing with a neurological disorder called ‘twisties.’ The world witnessed it during Simone’s performance, where she was supposed to do two and a half twists in the air. But due to her mental health issues, she could do only one and a half and landed awkwardly, realizing what happened. 

Simone Biles received support not only from other athletes but many more celebrities who showed up their support for Biles. The music sensation Taylor Swift is also a huge fan of Biles and supported Biles during her challenging time. Recently, Biles shared an Instagram story about receiving a heartwarming present gifted by Taylor.
