In competitions, interviews and a new Netflix docuseries, Simone Biles has shown that simply returning to the Olympics after her Tokyo ‘twisties’ is a momentous achievement.
Simone Biles has already won the 2024 Summer Olympic Games. Which isn't to say we're not waiting breathlessly to see her in action. Gymnastics is always one of the most popular events of the Summer Olympics and Biles is the world’s most decorated gymnast. Millions are counting down the days and rearranging their schedules to watch live as Biles competes in the events she has dominated for so long.
Her decision was supported by some, who considered it a brave and positive step for mental health advocacy, and excoriated by others, who accused Biles of letting her team down and relinquishing her place at the top of the sport. Biles retreated from gymnastics and got into therapy. Among the many pressures she faced were the dual traumas of having been abused by U.S. national team doctor Larry Nassar and then becoming a standard-bearer for the case against him.
