Even the GOATs go through a rough patch at times, and Biles went through such a phase days before the Tokyo Olympics. Although she won the silver in the women’s artistic team’s all-around performance event, she withdrew from the individual all-around final, citing her need to recuperate mentally. She also put out a message of appreciation for fans on social media just days after she withdrew.
Biles won her 4 gold medals at Rio Olympics for 4 different disciplines – Team, All-around, Vault, and Floor Exercise. And with a year left for Paris Olympics, fans would want her to repeat the same next year. However, for the moment, the bride-to-be is basking in the joy of her fiance’s company with wedding bells around the corner.
