Simone Biles, the most decorated gymnast of all time, speaks exclusively with TODAY’s Hoda Kotb to discuss her outlook going into her third Olympic Games after dealing with mental blocks called the “twisties” at the Tokyo Olympics. “I think we’re going to get the job done, I feel really confident,” she says.
Simone Biles is determined not to let any chatter about her on the internet penetrate her mindset at the Paris Olympics, which means staying off one social media app in particular. Coming off the criticism and emotional experience of the postponed 2020 Tokyo Olympics, the superstar gymnast told Hoda Kotb on TODAY July 17 that she has a plan when it comes to her phone. 'Limiting social media and stuff like that is going to be ,' Biles said.
I think we used to think of therapy as a weakness, and now I think of it as a strength.' She roared all the way back to win her sixth all-around world title in 2023, but her return to competition was not a foregone conclusion. She considered that her career might be over after Tokyo. 'It took awhile, because I was watching gymnastics on TV, but then, every time somebody twisted , I was like, 'Oh, my gosh,'' Biles said.
