However, during the Tokyo Olympics in 2021, she famously chose to withdraw from
several events, citing struggles with her mental health and the “twisties,” a dangerous condition in which gymnasts lose their sense of spatial awareness mid-air.
This decision sparked a global conversation about mental health in sports, with Biles receiving both widespread support and some criticism. Her decision to prioritize her well-being over competing highlighted the immense pressures athletes face and underscored the importance of mental health.
Her journey, however, has not been without its challenges. Biles has openly discussed her experiences with abuse, having been one of the many victims of former USA Gymnastics team doctor Larry Nassar.
Her courage in coming forward and speaking out against the systemic failures of the organizations that were supposed to protect her and her teammates has made her a powerful advocate for justice and change in the sport.
Biles has υsed her platform to demaпd accoυпtability from USA Gymпastics aпd other goverпiпg bodies, calliпg for better protectioпs for athletes aпd a safer eпviroпmeпt for fυtυre geпeratioпs.
