“It broke my heart…nobody is perfect” – When Michael Phelps opened up about Simone Biles’ withdrawal from Tokyo Olympics due to…see more
Following Simone Biles’ withdrawal from the Tokyo Olympics due to twisties, Michael Phelps related to the gymnast’s mental health struggles and claimed it broke his heart. The 23-time gold medalist is a firm advocate of mental health.
Phelps and Biles competed together at the 2016 Rio Olympics. While the former served as flag bearer for Team USA during the opening ceremony, the latter held the honor during the closing ceremony.
The swimmer bagged five medals at the Games and retired afterward while Biles took home four gold medals in her debut Olympics before vying for more in Tokyo five years later. However, while performing a vault routine during the team finals, she lost her balance in the air and nearly fell.
It turned out that the American gymnast was suffering from twisties, a mental health condition where gymnasts lose idea of their position in the air. While Biles withdrew from the team finals, her withdrawal sparked a conversation over the importance of taking care of athletes’ mental health. Phelps related to Biles’ struggles and said it broke his heart.
“It broke my heart but also, if you look at it, mental health over the last 18 months is something a lot of people are talking about,” he said in an interview with NBC in October 2021
He further encouraged Biles’ call for help and emphasized that she was also a human being.
“We’re human beings. Nobody is perfect. It’s okay to not be okay, to go through ups and downs. The biggest thing is we all need to ask for help. I can say personally it was very challenging. It was hard for me to ask for help. I felt like I was carrying, as Simone said, the weight of the world on my shoulders. It’s a tough situation,” Michael Phelps added.
The 28-time Olympic medalist also hoped the gymnast’s withdrawal would serve as a wake-up call for the world.
“I hope this is an eye-opening experience, an opportunity for us to jump on board and blow this mental health thing even more wide open. It is so much bigger than we could ever imagine.”
Simone Biles did make a comeback later and won a bronze medal in the balance beam finals. At the 2024 Paris Olympics, she bagged four medals, three gold and one silver.
Following his retirement from the sport after the 2012 London Olympics, Michael Phelps struggled with depression and was contemplating suicide at one point in 2014. Opening up about his struggles later in an interview with the Today show in 2018, he claimed he didn’t leave his room for several days.
“I was so down on myself. I didn’t have any self-love and quite honestly, I just didn’t want to be alive. It was a really, really, really crazy time for me and I didn’t want to see anybody, because for me, I saw myself as letting so many people down and me, myself in particular, and that’s hard to carry,” he said.
“And I think over those three or four days, where I didn’t want to leave my room, I didn’t want to talk to anybody, I finally realized that I can ask for help and it’s OK to not be OK and for me, that’s what changed my life,” Michael Phelps added.
Phelps made a comeback later at the 2016 Rio Olympics, winning six medals including five golds to put curtains on the greatest Olympic career of all time.

MARK KELLY JUST OBLITERATED TRUMP ON LIVE TV — Historic Takedown Sparks National Backlash as Reports Confirm Trump’s Pennsylvania Rally Was a 200-Person Disaster; MAGA World in Full-Scale Panic Sen. Mark Kelly unleashed a blistering assault on Donald Trump that Washington hasn’t seen in years — declaring the former president has “never read the Constitution,” “doesn’t understand what it means to be an American,” and comes from a family with “zero military service,” in stark contrast to Kelly’s four generations of service. The political earthquake hit even harder when fresh reporting confirmed Trump’s rally in Pocono, Pennsylvania was a catastrophic flop, drawing barely 200 people — a humiliation so severe that insiders say Trump erupted into a profanity-laced meltdown, berating aides and demanding to know “who sabotaged” his crowd. The fallout has spiraled into a national spectacle: Republican strategists are calling the rally “the beginning of the end,” veterans groups are rallying behind Kelly’s remarks, and even longtime MAGA loyalists privately admit the optics are “beyond salvaging.” What comes next is what has Washington bracing… Full Details 👇👇

SUPREME COURT CRUSHES TRUMP OVERNIGHT — 7–2 Ruling ERASES 30+ Executive Orders, Blocks National Guard Power Grab and Mass Purges; Roberts and Barrett Turn Against Him, White House Descends Into Chaos, Government Grounded In a stunning judicial blow, Trump’s audacious attempt to militarize America and seize sweeping control has been obliterated. The Supreme Court, in a decisive 7–2 ruling, struck down more than thirty executive orders that would have allowed him to use the National Guard as immigration enforcers and to fire heads of independent agencies like the FTC, EPA, and the Federal Reserve at will. The Court’s ruling was merciless. “No president gets to be king!” they declared, leaving no room for compromise. Orders that Trump counted on to reshape government instantly vanished, rendering him powerless overnight. Shockwaves spread through Washington as Justice Barrett—Trump’s own appointee—joined in a separate opinion: “No one can erase Congress’s power by decree.” Chief Justice Roberts echoed the warning, emphasizing that unchecked executive authority would “destroy the republic.” Their betrayal was personal, and its consequences immediate. Governors across the country reacted with unbridled defiance: “My Guard, not Trump’s!” Independent agencies erupted into revolt, and both immigration and economic policy screeched to a halt. The White House is now a scene of chaos, with aides scrambling to contain the fallout. From “strongest president in history” to a powerless figurehead, Trump lost all leverage in a single night. Political insiders whisper that 2026 could go down as the graveyard of MAGA, marking the definitive end of his overreach. Yet the Court’s ruling may only be the opening salvo. Inside Washington, whispers are spreading of a hidden maneuver, something so explosive it could rewrite the rules of power entirely. What happens next won’t just shake Trump’s world… it could ignite a crisis that tears the nation apart, and no one is ready for it….⤵️
