'To do something that I've done forever and just not be able to do it because of everything I've gone through is really crazy,' Simone Biles said
But Biles admitted that since the Olympics, aspects of her relationship to the sport have changed. When asked whether she’s still experiencing the “twisties” while out on the road, the gold medalist said she doesn’t do twists and instead performs her signature move — the double layout half out — in her floor routine. She went on to state that things are “just not the same” now and that she’s “still scared to do gymnastics.
“To go through something like that and to be a voice for all of the survivors and people who want to come forward and talk about their stories, it’s really inspiring,” she added. “But it’s hard that I have to go through it because again, people form their own opinions and I don’t really get to say what’s going on.”
