Simone Biles Proves That Taking A Step Back After Tokyo Allowed Her To Return In Peak Form
After a shocking Olympic dropout at the height of her career during the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games, it took Simone Biles three years to decide if she had had enough of elite gymnastics. Through a lot of therapy, a re-examination of her relationship with gymnastics, and perseverance in working through intense mental blocks, Biles isn’t just back, she’s better than ever.
At 27 years old, Simone Biles is making her Olympic comeback in Paris as the oldest American woman to make an Olympic gymnastics team since the 1950s. After rocking the house down in Minnesota at the Olympic Trials, she has officially qualified for her third Olympic Games, proving to all the haters that despite her shocking decision to drop out in the middle of the Tokyo 2020 Summer Olympics, she’s still the undisputed GOAT of women’s gymnastics and one of the greatest athletes of all time.
