?Quitter Must Be Running Low Endorsement Money?: Simone Biles Becomes Victim of Trolling as She Takes a Huge Step in Gymnastics Career

Since the day Simone Biles announced her hiatus from competitive gymnastics, the entire sports world has been waiting to see her back in action with bated breath. Well, breathe easy again, because all prayers have been answered. It has been revealed that Biles is going to get back to the gymnastics floor at the U.S. Classic which is going to be held in August.

This will be the Olympian’s first event since the Tokyo Olympics, after which she stopped competing and decided to focus on her mental health. Simone Biles has taken a big step in her career by returning after 2 years of silence. While some are celebrating this epic comeback, not all have welcomed Biles back with open arms.

Simone Biles is back, hopefully with a bang

After hearing the tremendous news, the spirits of the sports world are high, and so are their expectations. When the official Twitter page of ESPN announced the news of her return, some fans were overjoyed. However, others were skeptical after reading the news. While sharing about the grand comeback, ESPN wrote, “Simone Biles plans to compete at the U.S. Classic in early August, her first event since the 2020 Tokyo Olympics”.

After writing 4 Olympic gold medals and 7 Olympic medals to her name, Biles announced her respite from the sport.

So, that’s what she did.

The high standards Olympians are put to

Simone Biles might have taken a respite to focus on her mental health, but that has not convinced everyone. When ESPN shared the news, someone commented:
