Simone Biles is doing more than just talking the talk.
Three years ago, the U.S. finished a stunning second after entering the Tokyo Olympics as heavy favourites.
It came after Biles withdrew from the final, having botched her attempt at a two-and-a-half twisting vault to priortise her mental health as she dealt with what gymnasts call the ‘twisties,’ where the body and mind fall out of sync.
Her decision sparked a global conversation about athletes putting mental health at the forefront of elite sport.
She’s lived true to that moment since – including Tuesday morning (30 July), hours before she and Tokyo teammates Jordan Chiles, Suni Lee and Jade Carey, along with newcomer Hezly Rivera, won Team USA’s fourth-ever gold medal in the women’s team event at the Olympic Games Paris 2024.
