has a lot to give,” Simone Biles told reporters at a late-night press conference on Sunday, June 30, shortly after she was selected to be part of the five-member women’s gymnastics team heading to the Paris Olympics next month. Biles will compete with Suni Lee, Jade Carey, Jordan Chils and Hizley Rivera.
Four of them, the underwear, were also together at the Tokyo Games in 2021, in which they won silver teams and five distinct medals, including several stages for Lee.
But their events were in some ways overshadowed by Biles’ struggles at the time: She suddenly withdrew from most of her events, citing her mental health and a case of the “twisties,” and her teammates had to step up, unexpectedly, in her absence.
On Sunday, Lee and Biles both brought up the idea of \”redemption\” in returning to another Olympics. “We weren’t in the best situation… but we feel like we have a lot of weight on our shoulders to go out there and prove that we’re the better athletes,” Biles said. “We’re more mature, we’re smarter, we’re more consistent.”
“I know we’re stronger than what we showed in Tokyo. So I think it has to be for us, because it can’t be for anybody else, because that’s not why we’re doing it. We’re doing this for ourselves, for the love of the sport and the love of representing the United States,” she said. “So we’re just going to go out there and do our best.”
Biles touched on a number of other topics, including how she defines success, having the support of her husband, Jonathan Owens, and what she plans to do.
