After taking a mental health break, Simone Biles will return to compete in the beam final at the Tokyo Olympics.
USA Gymnastics confirmed the news via Twitter on Monday.
The tweet read:
We are so excited to confirm that you will see two U.S. athletes in the balance beam final tomorrow – Suni Lee AND Simone Biles!! Can’t wait to watch you both!
See the tweet below:
Simone shocked the world when she made the decision to withdraw from the all-around competition and three event finals to care for herself and her mental health.
In a series of posts on her Instagram Story, Simone revealed she was experiencing the “twisties.”
It’s a phenomenon, in which gymnasts feel like they get lost in the air.
Simone said her “mind and body are simply not in sync.”
Please join me in covering Simone in prayer as she gets back on her beam!
