Simone Biles, also the weight of a family tragedy

Undoubtedly, it was a complicated Olympic review for Simone Biles. It had to be one of the undisputed stars of Tokyo 2020, he goes home with a bronze medal and many difficult moments.

The US champion had to forfeit almost all races because of the problems of twisties who have “blocked” it. Thankfully, she managed to recover in time to compete in the beam, where she has won the bronze medal.

Now Simone Biles has unveiled a new background that makes the problems he had to face in Tokyo 2020 even more evident, namely the death of a close relative.

“Two days ago my aunt died suddenly, I couldn’t do anything from here and I certainly didn’t expect such a thing to happen during this Olympics ”, his words.

A shocking revelation that led Simone Biles herself to give advice to those who criticized her on social media: “At the end of the day, some people should be more careful what they write about online, because maybe they have no idea what the athlete is thinking or going through ”.

Luckily, the ending for the Ohio champion was sweet: “I thought I was leaving without a medal. Instead it has been a long week that at least I ended with great joy. Now I’ll go home and I’ll take care of the rest“.
