During the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, Biles withdrew from multiple events, citing mental health concerns but still managed to clinch two medals. She suffered from 'Twisties', a condition in which mind and body face dissonance. As per the Olympics, during the 2024 Paris Olympics, she reflected on the importance of therapy and mentioned:

“I did see my therapist the other day…. We’re taking it day-by-day to see if I need extra therapy while I’m here, but so far, so good. The Olympics is such a draining process for the athletes when it’s multiple days of competition, so you definitely have to be on top of your mental, as well as your physical. So as long as we’re doing that, then, we’re good.” She shared with the Olympics in 2024.

Simone Biles is one of the greatest artistic gymnasts of all time and has achieved prestigious accolades throughout her esteemed career. Along with her Olympics and World Championship triumphs, she also has two gold medals from the Pacific Rim Championships.
