Simone Biles Opens Up About Tokyo Olympics Experience on Call Her Daddy Podcas

During a recent appearance on the Call Her Daddy podcast, Simone Biles discussed her experience at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics particularly her mindset during a vault where she experienced the twisties. She described feeling disoriented mid-air and knew she had messed up upon landing fearing backlash from both the crowds in Tokyo and at home.

Biles expressed concerns about disappointing her country and even thought she might be banned from America for not winning gold. Following the vault, she decided to withdraw from further events to prioritize her mental health. Despite this setback, Biles returned to win silver and bronze medals later in the competition.

Her openness about the challenges she faced highlights the importance of mental health in athletics.
