Is Simone Biles coming back to the Olympics?

 What's Happening?


News has been updated about someone saying that she is coming back to start off the beam final in the Tokyo Olympics, she will compete next Tuesday on the beam, she will take her final chance to take an individual medal at the Olympics as she had withdrawn from the others.

The last update from Simone that she within draw due to her mental health problem as was stated before in other blogs, but this girl has been always dominant in this field as she won a lot since she started, she won a Bronze back in Rio Olympics in 2016, as the four-time Olympic champion has been suffering from something called 'twisties' which gymnasts stated it's like a mental block or losing the ability to focus while being one the mid-air.

After she has withdrawn from the competition she stayed watching and cheering her friends to take the chance and shine, as her teammate MyKayla Skinner stated this:

 one strong cookie, She's handling it better than I thought. Every day she's been laughing, giggling, super supportive

The withdraw that Simone did make MyKayla Skinner shine and take her spot and win a silver medal behind Brazil's Rebeca Andrade.

    Struggling with mental health can take a huge part out of you. Even if you're an Olympian, so I totally understand her.

    It is definitely understandable. She needs to find her peace mentally.

    My hope is that she will continue to do what's best for her mental health. She's phenomenal at gymnastics, but her mind and body are the first priority!

      Yes, mental state should be a priority because it has a major effect on the whole body!

    Hearing she's doing what's best for her is great, she should be so proud of what she's done and will continue to do.
