Simone Biles reveals she was dealing with family tragedy while at Tokyo Olympics!

Simone Biles disclosed on Tuesday she was handling a household hardship amidst striving to get her mental fitness to be on the international arena of the Tokyo Olympics. Simone, after gaining the bronze award in the balance beam tournament, informed correspondents that those watching Olympians from their homes, don’t understand what they’re experiencing.

“At the end of the day, people don’t realize what we are pushing through,” Biles announced, via Olympics.com. “Two days before, I came over and my aunt suddenly expired, and it wasn’t any easier standing here at the Olympic Games.”

The demise of her aunt was set on top of the mental gymnastics she was experiencing. She was revoked from the squad all-around last and later two other single tournaments. She announced she was struggling with the “twisties” and was battling with spatial perception on her dismounts.

Biles’ departure spurred an enormous discussion on mental health. “Bringing a light to the discussion of mental health, it’s something that people go through a lot that is sort of shoved under the covers,” she announced. “I realize like we’re not just pastime, we’re humans, as well, and we have emotions.”

Biles informed NBC’s “Today” the bronze award – her seventh Olympic medal – signified more than the gold trophies she won in 2016. “It implies more than all the golds because I’ve dragged through so much the past five years and the last weekend while I’ve certainly been here. It was very personal, and I’m just proud of myself and just all of these girls, as well,” Biles explained.

“I didn’t mind about the consequences. I was just pleased that I earned the routine and that I got to play against one more time.” After heaving out of last week’s squad trials, Biles thereafter withdrew from the single all-around tournament as well as the game finals for the ground, uneven benches, and cellar. During a press meeting after the squad finals, Biles announced that the Olympics has been “really aggravating,” particularly given its unusual situations pertained to the epidemic.
