Simone Biles, the 27-year-old gymnastics superstar, has once again proven herself to be a force to be reckoned with at the Paris Olympics. With four additional medals added to her collection, she has solidified her position as one of the greatest gymnasts of all time.
However, Biles’ journey to success has not been without its challenges. Her struggles with the “Twisties” at the Tokyo Olympics left her questioning her career, and the pressure to perform has often taken a toll on her mental health.
Despite this, Biles has shown remarkable resilience and determination. Her decision to prioritize her well-being by eating in her room instead of the Olympic Village has sparked debate, with some criticizing her for being “stuck up” or “not eating with the peasants.”

But for Biles, it’s about managing her anxiety and staying focused. “Whenever I sat down to eat, my anxiety was so bad, I was shaking,” she shared on TikTok.
As we marvel at Biles’ incredible talent and achievements, let’s also acknowledge the immense pressure she faces and the importance of prioritizing her mental health. Share your thoughts in the comments!
