Simone Biles recounted the moment she had to reveal the heartbreaking news of her sudden withdrawal from most of the events at the Tokyo Olympics. The gymnast had developed the twisties phenomenon, which severely impacted her performance.

For the unversed, during the twisties, the concerned gymnast develops a brain fade while executing his/her moves, which increases the risk of grave injuries. In a conversation with People magazine in 2021, just after the Tokyo Olympics, Biles mentioned how her team reacted to her withdrawal. She said:

"They were freaking out. They were like, crying, and I was like, 'You guys need to relax, you're going to be fine without me, go out there and kick some butt, just like we've done in training. And just lay it out on the floor and see what happens!"

Biles also added that she shared advice with her teammates before the team all-around finals.

"You have done all the training, you can do this without me and it will be just fine," she said.

Simone Biles won a silver medal in the team all-around event and a bronze medal in the balance beam event at the Tokyo Olympics. She later spoke about raising awareness for athletes' mental health, which earned her appreciation from legends like Michael Phelps and Usain Bolt.
