Simone Biles’ mother’s key role in her mental recovery
Simone Biles has a real-life hero in the form of her mother as she encouraged her not to try to push through a mental block at the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games in Japan, as the gymnastics icon struggled for form.
Biles has been very open about her struggles through the tournament in Far-East Asia as she found herself unable to execute the challenging manoeuvres that she is famous for and Nellie Biles told her child straight to stop before she got hurt.
As a result, she left the team instead of trying to push on through the competition floor following a series of uncharacteristic mistakes, admitting she also drew inspiration from Naomi Osaka’s decision to leave the French Open and Wimbledon in Tennis, but it was her mother her pushed her to finally do it.
“It was devastating,” Nellie Biles told Today. “After her vaulting, she called me and then mentioned that she couldn’t do it anymore.
“My words to Simone was, ‘Don’t do it. Don’t feel like you need to push yourself because that’s the last thing I need is to see you injure yourself on television and I’m not going to be there.'”
Team USA went on to claim the silver medal behind the individual Russian athletes in the team’s section, whilst Biles would later withdraw from the finals of the individual all-around contest on July 28 with mental health issues.
She then left the vault and uneven bars finals too, before finally withdrawing from the floor. She did compete in the balance beam on August 2 in a less-demanding routine which was good enough to claim the bronze medal.
Biles would later reveal she was battling against “the twisties” or “the yips”, which is a psychological phenomenon in which an athlete loses their sense of where they are in the air, especially whilst performing twisting exercises.
Biles then returned to competition at the US Classic in August 2023, hosted in Chicago, where she had an all-around score of 59.100 through four events to win by five points from Leanne Wong.
By also placing first on the balance beam and floor exercise, she qualified for the US National Championships where she would win an eighth national title to break Al Jochim’s record that stood since 1933.
She then announced plans to compete at the 2024 Olympic Games with Team USA following a strong showing in the World Artistic Gymnastics Championships, Pan American Artistic Gymnastics Championship and the World Championships, winning four golds and two silvers in the latter.

“You know, I’ve been in this profession long enough to understand that losing is part of football — but losing like this is something I can’t accept.” “We lost to the Denver Broncos with a score of 19–22, but that score doesn’t tell the whole story. I’ve never seen a game where the bias was so clear. When a player charges at the ball, you can recognize it immediately. But when he charges at a person — that’s a choice, not an accident. That hit today? It was intentional, 100%. Don’t sit there and tell me it was just a ‘fluke collision.’ We all saw what happened afterward — the smug smiles, the taunts, the arrogance. That’s not football. That’s a lack of respect for the game and the opponent.” “I’m not here to slander anyone — but everyone knows who I’m talking about. And let me make it clear to the NFL: these imaginary boundaries, these timid whistles, these ‘special shields’ for certain teams — we all see it. You preach fairness and integrity, but week after week, we see you turn a blind eye to dirty hits, then justify it as ‘part of the game.'” “If this is what football has become — if these so-called ‘standards’ you always talk about are just an empty shell, then you’ve betrayed the very game itself. And let me make it clear: I will not stand by while my team is trampled under rules that even you lack the courage to enforce.” Details 👇👇
