Bianca Belair recently revealed in an interview that Olympian Simone Biles inspired her. During the interview, Belair recounted her story as a collegiate athlete and how mental health was important.
Simone Biles is an Olympian Gymnast who recently pulled out of the U.S. team gymnastics finals due to the emotional toll it took on her. However, the story ended happily with the team winning the silver medal in Tokyo.
WWE SmackDown Women's champion Bianca Belair, in a one-on-one with ViBe & wrestling, shared her newfound admiration for decorated gymnast Simone Biles.
She detailed how Olympian Simone Biles inspired her by prioritizing her mental health and paused her run at the recently concluded Tokyo Olympics. Bianca Belair stressed that athletes are human as well, and sometimes it is okay to prioritize the human aspect over the competition.
"Simone Biles is so inspiring on what she did, especially at such a big stage. She allowed herself to be vulnerable and put her mental health before her physical abilities and that speaks volumes, as well the team and the coaches that she had, the fact that they were able to support her and they went out there to support her and they still won the medal. The message is that athletes are humans and it is so hard mentally and we have to look at her and admire her for what she did because there are times that as athletes we felt that something was not going well but we kept on pushing and it’s ok to put your mental health first." said Bianca (h/t to ViBe & Wrestling for the transcript).
