Biles even took to Instagram to share the little moments that were special to her in a photo dump on her profile. She posted pictures from Belgian pancakes to pizza, even the chalk holder, with empowering messages like “You’re awesome” and “And you’re doing great.” She also shared moments of joy with group photos of her teammates and a shot with the youngest member, Joscelyn Roberson, at Antwerp’s iconic City Hall and the Brabo monument. Amidst these fun moments, a cryptic message from the queen had emerged.

Biles had to go through so much to get to where she is. Her return to Antwerp came after a two-year break, a hiatus caused by the multitude of challenges she faced in 2021, from twisties to mental health issues. And her return to the world stage was also accompanied by its fair share of challenges, including bouts of anxiety.

Biles herself admitted to the anxiety she faced in Antwerp. She took to TikTok and shared a “Get Ready With Me” video in which she opened up about her challenges. She even said, “I was so nervous last night and so anxious, and I don’t know why. I guess it’s normal. It means you’re prepared.” She also shared how her husband, Jonathan Owens, helped her realize this despite being far away.

After all, the support she received and these reminders helped her clinch five medals at Antwerp, four of which were gold. Biles’ message resonated with her fans as well.
