Legendary gymnastic player Simone Biles has made a comeback to remember for her team USA. In her illustrious career, this is the fifth Olympic medal. In a hot and humid Paris where the temperature reached 35 degrees, all eyes were on Biles as she had a forgettable time during the Olympics in Tokyo in 2021. Everyone was hoping for her to make a great comeback, and Simone didn’t let her fans down as she proved form is temporary and class is permanent.

Three years back, Simone Biles was suffering from a mental block, which is also known as “twisties” in gymnastic terms. Her absence was a major loss for her team, and the USA had only won the silver last time in 2021. But this time, Biles is back with a bang. She, along with her teammates Jade Carey, Jordan Chiles, and Sunisa Lee, fought exceptionally well as they took over Italy and Brazil.

Simone Biles is having a fairytale comeback as earlier before this Olympics, she took a two-year break because of her mental health issues. Mykayla Skinner, a former teammate of Biles, had criticized Biles but later apologized to the gymnastics community in the USA. After winning the gold, Biles said, “I feel like we all have more to give and our Tokyo performances weren’t the best. We weren’t under the best circumstances, either, but I feel like we have a lot of weight on our shoulders to go out there and prove that we’re better athletes”​.
