“I Was So Bad at Everything”- Simone Biles Hated Lockdown for Not Having Artistic Genes Like Everybody Else

The year 2020 was crucial for everybody; everyone has to be patient with themselves and their emotions. People have struggled with the pandemic and the resulting emotions it brought about. People around the globe have all felt the consequences differently. Similarly, legendary Simone Biles had her share of struggles that were different from others. 

Being a big name among gymnasts, she is a master at what she does. However, during the pandemic, the four-time Olympic medalist struggled not to have talent in any other genre. 

Simone Biles struggled during the lockdown

The year 2020 was a year filled with unremarkable days in many respects. In several interviews, Biles shared how she watched ‘Tiger King’ on her TV screen while sitting on her couch. In addition, being away from her family, she ate her dinner over Zoom calls.

Also, one cannot forget how several people started to try out different hobbies and things which became a trend on social media.

Similarly, Biles also participated in the handstand challenge, a collection of trending videos in which participants attempted to put on a T-shirt while on their hands. Unfortunately, despite trying out new things, Simone lost the spark that her heart needed.

During an interview, Biles stated, “I was so bad at everything everybody tried. Then it just started pissing me off because everyone’s like, Oh, I’m gonna pick up painting and was great at that, and I was like, Forget it. I’m not even going to go to Michaels because I’m gonna waste money, and it’s just not going to be good.”

Thus, the isolation was difficult for her.

Biles on her identity

Simone Biles welcomed the year 2020 with many dreams in her eyes; however, she felt alone with time. While she sat alone thinking about her future, she thought, “You gotta be stuck with yourself. That’s, like, so annoying.”

Since the beginning, she has been well aware of why she excelled at gymnastics. Biles has pure self-control with lots of patience; however, despite this, during Tokyo Olympics, she went through a tough time.

Later, this caused her to withdraw her name from the Tokyo Olympics, causing everyone shock. While she is away from her gymnastics arena, her fans have been recalling the days when she used to rocket through the air.

Apart from this, the question “Who am I?” enlightens her while filling her with positivity. Now Simone Biles, who used to jump while kissing her gold medals after winning, is all set to walk down the wedding aisle.
