Simone Biles Sends Three-Word Message After ‘Last Practice’ Before Olympics

Simone Biles, who dominated the competition at the U.S. Gymnastics Trials last month, heads to the 2024 Paris Olympics as the favorite to win the all-around competition.

The 27-year-old will compete on the U.S. women’s gymnastics team alongside Suni Lee, Jade Carey, Jordan Chiles and newcomer Hezly Rivera. If Biles reaches the podium just once, she will become the most-decorated American Olympic gymnast of all time.

Biles, who took two years off from the sport before making her epic comeback, appears ready to compete in her third Olympics. The nine-time national champion shared a peek of her last practice before heading to Paris and sent a message on her mental state.

“All the feels,” Biles wrote on her Instagram stories, with a mixture of happy cry and excited emojis.

Biles credited weekly therapy sessions for fueling her return to gymnastics, and she has advocated the importance of mental health for all athletes. The world watched as Biles withdrew from the Tokyo Olympics after experiencing “the twisties,” a term for when a gymnast loses control and awareness of their body while performing high-level elements.
