The Tokyo incident of Simone Biles
Twisties have been a major concern in the gymnastics world because it is a major problem. In this, an athlete suddenly faces a mental block while performing a routine, which can lead to serious injuries as well.
The same thing happened to Simone Biles. She made the brave decision to choose herself on the big Olympic stage. Biles came down from the vaulting podium after facing a mental block during an attempt at a two-and-a-half twisting vault in the women's team final.
After this event, Biles withdrew from multiple events and showcased her confidence in her teammates, prioritizing her mental health.
"I just felt like it would be a little bit better to take back seat to work on my mindfulness, and I knew that the girls would do an absolutely great job."
Simone Biles also revealed that she stepped back because she did not want to put the medals in jeopardy as her teammates worked too hard for them.
"I didn't want to risk the team a medal for king for my screw-ups because they've worked way too hard for that. So, I just decided those girls need to go in an do the rest the competition."
