Months after Zoe Miller suffered from a concussion during training, she’s back and has plenty to celebrate in 2023. The 17-year-old gymnast not only made a remarkable comeback, but she also clinched the top spot on the bars at the 2023 Core Hydration Classic in early August. The athlete even pocketed $200 in an unusual money stake initiated by her fellow gymnast and multiple Olympic gold medalist, Simone Biles!
This happened during Biles’ first competition since her widely-publicized withdrawal from the Tokyo 2021 Olympics due to mental health reasons. Biles challenged her younger teammate, Miller, betting that she wouldn’t perform an unconventional celebration dance following her bar routine. Despite doubts, Miller rose to the occasion, and Biles paid up. Miller playfully danced her way to the bank, where she deposited the prize money while contemplating how to spend it.
