Simone Biles Says ‘Mental Health’ Matters

BODY/MIND/WINNER –

Aug. 2, 2024 – After winning the all-around competition on Thursday, Aug. 1 at Bercy Arena in Paris, Biles, 27, reflected on a meditative moment from her gold medal performance. In a Instagram Post on Friday, the three-time Olympian shared a picture from mid-competition, where she sits cross-legged with her eyes closed, breathing deeply.

“Mental health matters,” Biles captioned the post.

That’s been a focus for the six-time Olympic gold medalist, after speaking openly about how her mental health suffered during the 2020 Tokyo Games. It was there that she was forced to withdraw from the team final and all-around competition due to the “twisties,” a dangerous situation where she was getting “lost” in the air as she struggled mentally.
