what happened to simone biles

Simone Biles withdrew from several events at the 2021 Tokyo Olympics due to experiencing "the twisties," a mental block that causes gymnasts to lose track of their movements. She ultimately returned to win a bronze medal on the balance beam, but then disappeared from competitive gymnastics. Biles later confirmed that her withdrawal was not due to an injury but mental health reasons. She took a break from competitive gymnastics after the Olympics to focus on her personal life, including getting engaged and married. Biles returned to competition at the 2023 US Classic, where she won the womens all-around, balance beam, and floor. She is scheduled to compete in all four events, including uneven bars, which she has found to be the most difficult discipline to return to "both mentally and physically".
