American gymnast Simone Biles on Wednesday said she is grateful for the support of fans and family as she dealt with mental health issues that kept her away from competition for two years prior to her triumphant return.
Biles pulled out of multiple events at the Tokyo Olympics in 2021 due to the"twisties," a temporary loss of spatial awareness in mid-air. Her withdrawal to focus on her mental health was one of the biggest stories of those Games.
"I would like to extend my heartfelt gratitude to fans, friends, family & partnerships who have been unwavering pillars of support throughout my mental health journey," Biles wrote in a social media post.
