Gymnastics an’ da United States Olympic an’ Paralympic Committee, speakin’ out against da norm of silence in da sport. Soon aftah da Tokyo Games, she wen testify in front of Congress ’bout da F.B.I.’s mishandling of da case. 🗣️🔥🔒
Da stress an’ pressure in Tokyo made Biles lose her spatial awareness in da air, which be one dangerous condition known as da “twisties” in gymnastics.
She wen withdraw from da team finals an’ no compete in da individual all-around competition. Biles wen say at da time dat she was shaky an’ couldn’t even nap, describin’ herself as not bein’ in da proper “head space” to continue an’ concerned wit’ injurin’ herself. “It just sucks when you are fighting with your own head,” she said. 😔💔🤸♀️

What one hard ting fo’ do. Dey had so much pressure fo’ continue. An’ she was able to find da strength fo’ say, ‘No, dis not right.'” 💪👏💙
Da willingness of Biles an’ others fo’ speak out confirmed dat mental health issues affect everyone, Beilock wen say. The courage shown by Biles in addressin’ her mental health has inspired many and helped shed light on da importance of takin’ care of one’s well-bein’ both inside an’ outside of da athletic arena. 🌟🗣️💙
