The 24-year-old gymnast said she skipped the events due to her “mental health.” Biles competed in two events but bowed out of two events in Tokyo. Ultimately, she won the Silver in women’s team artistic gymnastics and the Bronze in the balance beam event. The medals gave Biles a total of seven Olympic medals, which tied her with gymnast Shannon Miller for all-time best U.S. gymnasts.the toast of the left for deferring to her “mental health” instead of achieving excellence in competition.
“This Olympics doesn’t erase the past accomplishments I’ve achieved, nor does it define who I am as an athlete. I’ve pushed through so much the past couple years, the word quitter is not in my vocabulary,” sheNow, Biles is doubling down, if not tripling down, on that sentiment.
