PARIS - A radiant Simone Biles made her long-awaited Olympic return at the Paris Olympics on Sunday, drawing boisterous cheering and clapping from an ecstatic, star-studded crowd in the French capital.The most decorated gymnast in history is returning for her third Olympics after suffering from the "twisties" at the Tokyo Games, a term used by gymnasts to describe the temporary loss of spatial awareness they can experience when doing high-difficulty elements.
But after a two-year hiatus and with the help of her teammates and a therapist, she made a glorious return in Paris that reinforced her status of one of the greatest athletes of all-time.The 27-year-old Biles began the competition on the balance beam, arguably the most difficult apparatus to start on, receiving a competition-leading 14.733 points.
