🤸♀️🤸♀️🤸♀️ At the Tokyo Olympics, when Simone Biles was suffering from the Twisties, she took into account not only her mental and physical health, but also the team when considering her withdrawal from the competition. “I said, ‘No, I know I’m gonna be fine (eventually), but I can’t risk a medal for the team, so I know I need to call it,’” Biles shared. She didn’t want to risk her performance hindering the team’s outcome - a brave decision on so many levels. She’s been a fierce advocate for athlete mental health ever since.
