Simone Biles opened up about her approach towards her gymnastics career and the successes she has received in the discipline. In an interview, the 27-year-old said that her coaches have helped her to keep things very simple around her, which has helped her to perform at the highest level for so long.

Additionally, Biles reacted to the critics and trollers who had questioned her future in the gymnastics circuit at the age of 27. She said (via Health Data Management):

"I think at the heart of it, my coaches have always kept it fun for me, and that’s why I’ve been able to do it for so long. People say I’m old for gymnastics, but I feel like I’m just getting started."

Further speaking about the delayed 2020 Tokyo Olympics, where she faced twisties, Biles said that she had a prior feeling that the campaign wouldn't be as good as she had dreamt of. She said:

"On the plane ride over there, I had this weird feeling. I just knew it wasn’t going to go the way I wanted, but I didn’t know why."

During the conversation, Simone Biles also said that despite these thoughts before the Olympics, she was occupied with the thoughts of putting her best effort for the US, resulting in her not paying attention to these thoughts.
