Simone Biles smiled again. On high it returns again, challenges and overcomes, as well as encompasses and executes. Once again he surprised and inspired to win. He is making history again in a big way.
The Houston gymnast added four golds and a silver to her recent haul of medals in Antwerp on the tenth anniversary of her World Championships debut, where she won four medals at the age of 16. 26 years old already has 37 podiums between that event and the race Olympic GamesIncluding 27th place. The American, who came first with eight national championships, broke the record held by Belarusian Vitaly Scherbo (33) with these medals and became the gymnast with the most medals of all genders of all time.
This conquest in the sports skies has a special value: Biles went to hell. Two years ago at the Tokyo Olympic Games, he felt the “weight of the world” on his shoulders and the “demons in his head” got to him. She suffered from a condition known in gymnastics as “twisting.” disconnection between mind and body. She dropped out of the team competition, but later added an individual bronze medal on balance beam. Some in the media and on social networks went for the jugular.
To the brave who want to see weakness or exaggerated and unfulfilled promises, Biles has silenced them now, but not with words (She didn’t fall into the trap of saying things to her critics in Antwerp by claiming to be an “educated woman”). She and Belgium have managed to “block out most of the outside noise and not disturb you,” she explained.
One of the contributing athletes bay sanity in its rightful place He also explained why he was there again, after decades of being ostracized under the tyranny of consequences: “I had to prove to myself that I could still go there, that I could still come back. “I could prove that all the haters were wrong, that I wasn’t giving up, this and that, but it didn’t matter to me,” he said. “Who cares as long as I’m back there and enjoying gymnastics again?”
Intensity and joy
That’s the key for Biles: enjoying what she does, working out, and competing with it. intensity as joy. And this was proven by her post-world championship celebration with 24-year-old Brazilian Rebeca Andrade, who had the same five podium finishes as her and with whom a rivalry emerged that pushed them both to greatness.
Biles is marking herself own goals and objectives that he keeps to himself and does not share with the public so as not to increase the pressure (which means he has not yet confirmed whether he intends to return to the Olympic stage in Paris). He showed that he now prioritizes quality and efficiency rather than courage. But he also continues to push boundaries, on his own terms.
He performed this on the shelf in Antwerp. Yurchenko does a double somersault on the board, already christened Biles II, is the fifth exercise bearing her name after another on the rack, two on the floor and one on the balance beam. And at that moment, one of his coaches, Laurent Landi, was also with him, because they chose to take the punishment of this existence in exchange for the trust he gave to the athlete.
an inner road
Biles’ path has always been guided by this mantra: gymnastics doesn’t define youhas been largely, perhaps most importantly, internal. He has been happily married since April, after his parents’ addiction problems left him raised by his grandparents, a difficult childhood with a brother accused of triple murder, and surviving Larry Nassar, the man responsible for the worst known case of sexual abuse in sports history. was female (with American football player Jonathan Owens). and you know it There is life outside the gym and competitions.
Therefore, after participating in the Gold Over America Tour exhibition tour during its break, He’s back to race when and how he wants. He resurfaced in Chicago in August, still having doubts but also believing in himself “a little bit more.” And the other part of the marriage, Cecile Landi, who trained Biles, revealed some of the keys to what led to the comeback that resulted in big victories in Belgium. For example, Landi now designs “routines that he feels good repeating and doing, that do not exceed his physical and mental abilities, and that ensure that everything is built well.” Also talk to Biles’ longtime therapist and collect key words she’ll repeat to herself during the competition, among other things, to help her maintain her confidence.
So is Biles. Breathing and visualization exercises are performed and supported with positive thoughts.. You have inspirational quotes on your mobile phone. He meets frequently with his therapist, whom he usually meets with once a week in two-hour sessions to work on his mental health both outside and inside the gym, as well as an online session in Antwerp ahead of the team final. Tokyo could do more damage.
“This shows everyone that you can be better than you were before, just take your time”, Cecile Landi also said. “If you do the work outside of the gym, you can come back if you want.”
Biles wanted it and she got it. And it is he who emerges victorious in the duel with himself, with the skeptics and with history. The war and probably the victories are not over.
