Earlier this year, Simone Biles earned the crown of the oldest woman to have won the 8th US National Title. Not long after making the National Championships history, she decided to improve her already outstanding resume a little more. Like thoughts, like action. After a decade, she stepped into Belgium, displayed her maneuvers and clinched her 6th World Title. Besides, she also anchored the team to a gold finish with a 167.729. Leaving the entire stadium in awe, Simone was “really proud of the performances she put out there.”?

Owing to her ‘Twisties’, her gymnastic career took an uncalled-for turn, about to shatter her dreams. But the GOAT justified her well-earned title by standing back up stronger. For the 26-year-old, though she has seen a lot in her illustrious career, some useful take aways matter the most.

Simone Biles laid out her life as an inspiration

Starting from the media to the fans, it’s not unlikely that cameras surround Simone at all times. Amidst lauds and clicks, Heath Thorpe, the Australian artistic gymnast, never fails to catch Simone for a quick questionnaire. According to Gymnastics Now’s post, “Following a very successful return to the world stage, @heaththorpe had a one-on-one chat with the GOAT Simone Biles. She discussed her overall feelings.” After the highly anticipated comeback at the worlds, the 37 Olympic medalist traced back to the difficult times.

Thorpe asked, “When you choose to walk away from the sport, what is your biggest wish to leave it with?” Simone, quite questionably, skips her medals for something unthinkable. She said, “I think there are so many that people could take away. But I think the most important one would be, it’s okay to not be okay. It’s okay to take that time off, come back stronger and healthier.”?

Able to push herself with everybody’s support, Simone took the stage for the first time in two years.

First event since Tokyo games

In August, at the US Core Hydration Classic, with a palpitating heart, the Olympian stepped her first foot on the mat. As thrilling as it sounds, the warmth and the consistent support of fans always pushed Simone to achieve new heights. ?It just makes my heart warm because it?s nice to come out here and have all that support, especially in a time like this where I was really nervous to compete again.? Undeniably, she justified the title of being the most decorated gymnast. In the all-round standings, Biles stood atop with 59.100, leaving Leanne Wong to 54.100 and Joscelyn Roberson to 54.050. Though she took her time off career-wise, her hiatus was a time of reflection. She bettered herself with therapy and practise over the years, and didn’t at any point lose hope.
