While Biles’ numerous accolades demonstrate her successful career, it was not without its challenges. Despite winning gold at her debut Olympic Games in Rio in 2016, the athlete could not compete in Tokyo in 2021 owing to twisties.

The mental block prompted her to withdraw from the event, resulting in numerous controversies, and she did not compete in any professional meet until the 2023 season.

With a successful comeback in the events leading up to the 2024 Paris Olympics, Biles was able to reclaim her gold medalist status, winning three of them in the coveted event.
