This is definitely our redemption tour. We all feel like we have something to give,” Simone Biles told reporters at a press conference late on Sunday, June 30, shortly after being selected as a member of the five-person women’s gymnastics team heading to the upcoming Olympics in Paris.
Biles will compete alongside Suni Lee, Jade Carey, Jordan Chiles and Hezly Rivera.
Four of them, minus Rivera, were also all together at the Tokyo Games, in 2021, which saw them earn a team silver and five individual medals, including the all-around gold for Lee. But their events were in a way overshadowed by Bilza’s struggle at the time: she suddenly left most of her events, citing her mental health and the case of “torsion”, and her teammates had to be in his absence .
On Sunday, Lee and Bails both raised the idea \ “Redemption \”, returning to another Olympic Games. “We were in the best circumstances … but we have a lot of weight on our shoulders and prove that we are better than athletes. I feel that I have a lot of weight, “said Bills. “We are more mature. We are smarter and more consistent.”
“We know that it’s stronger than what we showed in Tokyo. So I think it has to be for us because it can\’t be for anybody else, ‘cause that’s not why we do it. We do it for ourselves and the love for the sport and the love for representing the U.S.,” she said. “So we’re going to go out there and give it our all.”
Biles touched on a variety of other topics, including how she defines success and how she enjoys the support of her husband, Jonathan Owens
