Simone Biles Reveals Gymnastics Nightmare Issues Amidst Break From Her Sport: ?Woke Up Thinking…?

Simone Biles is the most decorated gymnast of all time. She has 32 global medals to her name and even a few gymnastics moves named after her. With her stunning performances in the arena, Biles never fails to impress the crowd. However, she has been away from competitive gymnastics for as long as one can remember.

Being late for your work, class, or any routine engagement is a nightmare for anybody. And Biles is no different. Just today Biles posted on her Twitter, saying,??I really just woke up thinking I was missing Saturday practice.?

This comes from the four-time Olympic champion after she announced her break from gymnastics in 2021. Right after pulling out of multiple events at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, Biles declared a hiatus. It has been almost a year since then, but it seems the morning panic of making it to practice hasn?t left her yet.

The living legend has spoken up multiple times about her issues with mental health. Her withdrawal from the Tokyo Olympics was a result of her catching the ?twisties?. It is a phenomenon that causes gymnasts to lose spatial awareness when they are in the air and can lead to serious injury.

What happened next?

Ever since Biles went on break, she has been focusing on her relationships and engaging in off-arena activities. She got engaged to her boyfriend NFL star Jonathan Owens back in February, and the wedding will take place next year.

Professionally, Biles has tied up with Athleta to become the second sponsored athlete of the brand. She is also partnered up with?Snapchat to star in her own reality show. Moreover, Celebrity Cruises declared Biles as the godmother of the new Celebrity Beyond Ship.

Now, she has joined Nobel Peace Prize Laureate Malala Yousafzai and Reshma Saujani on the list. The champion even got a Subway?sandwich named after her.

While Biles has become somewhat of a sponsorship goldmine as of late, fans are eagerly awaiting news of her return. Will we be able to see Biles in Paris in 2024? Does she plan to return to the competition at all? I guess we?ll find out.
