Freed from her "twisties", gymnastics superstar Simone Biles returns to the global stage at the world championships which start in Antwerp on Saturday, Sept. 30, with the 2024 Paris Olympics in her sights after a two-year break to treat her mental health.
At 26, she is preparing to break another record in Antwerp by becoming the first American to participate in six world championships, a sign of her extraordinary longevity. "So now it's just really exciting because I get to see some people who were here in 2013 which is absolutely crazy and insane. But to be back in the same arena, in the same atmosphere, I think it will be really fun and wild."
She then explained that she was fighting against"twisties", a temporary mental block whereby gymnasts lose their sense of where they are in the air, with the risk of injury when they land.If she left Japan with a silver in the team event and a bronze on the beam, her setbacks contributed to highlighting the long taboo subject of athletes' mental health.
"This time around it's being intentional, going to therapy, making sure everything is aligned so that I can do the best in the gym and be a good wife, good daughter, good friend, all the good things."
