Simone Biles' twisties: mental block which puts gymnasts at serious risk | Tokyo Olympic Games 2020


Biles’s withdrawal during the women’s team final and her subsequent exit from the all-around final on Thursday in order to preserve her mental health has also underlined the dangers inherent in gymnastics and the necessity of being in the right frame of mind in order to even attempt it.
During her late-night press conference on Tuesday, Biles explained that she also had “twisties”, a word for a mental block in which gymnasts lose their spatial awareness in the middle of complex skills. It is a well-known, terrifying and dangerous sensation for gymnasts.
Among many others, Aleah Finnegan, a gymnast on the USA national team, was prompted to speak about the subject on Twitter. “I’ve had the twisties since I was 11,” she wrote. “I cannot imagine the fear of having it happen to you during competition. They have very limited equipment and mats in Tokyo to help something like this get fixed let alone within a day. You have absolutely no control over your body and what it does.”

TOKYO (AP) — Simone Biles will not defend her Olympic title.
The American gymnastics superstar withdrew from Thursday’s all-around competition to focus on her mental well-being.

At the Tokyo Olympics, gymnast Simone Biles continues to be the main topic of discussion. The defending gold medalist in the women's all-around competition qualified first for Thursday's final, but withdrew to focus on her mental health. Jade Carey will take Biles' place for Team USA.

And the women's 4x200 freestyle relay team, anchored by Katie Ledecky, won silver.

The biggest shock of the Olympic Games remains Simone Biles leaving the team competition. This morning, we learned she would not compete in the individual All-Around events taking place Thursday in Tokyo either.
The question marks surrounding how her Olympic story will unfold are huge. Will she be able to compete in any of the four individual events that are still to come? Women’s vault and uneven bars are Sunday. Women’s floor exercise is Monday. And women’s balance beam is Tuesday. That’s four medals still at stake.

Helene Elliott: 'We Can All Learn From Her Courage': Simone Biles Not Alone in Mental Health Struggle


Helene Elliott: ‘We Can All Learn From Her Courage’: Simone Biles Not Alone in Mental Health Struggle
TOKYO—For nearly a decade Simone Biles seemed not only unbeatable but unshakeable.
She would reel off the most difficult gymnastics maneuvers with a daredevil’s spirit and an artist’s passion, her smile brighter than the 25 medals she won at the world championships and the five she won while dominating the 2016 Rio Olympics. She was declared the GOAT—greatest of all time—and she embraced the role with good humor by wearing leotards cheekily adorned with a glittery goat.
Few people realized that behind the perky hair ribbons and spangles is a young woman who has been bruised by life, first in the foster care system when her addict biological mother couldn’t care for her, and later when she was among hundreds of girls and women who were sexually abused by former national team doctor Lawrence Nassar. She thought of committing suicide in the aftermath of the abuse, she recently acknowledged in a Facebook Watch docuseries.

Simone Biles has thanked fellow gymnasts for their “love and support” as she considers whether to continue to play a further part in the Tokyo Olympics.
The four-time Rio gold medallist withdrew from her scheduled defence of the women’s all-around final on Friday, citing a desire to protect her mental health.
Biles is as yet undecided on whether she will compete in any of the four individual finals for which she has qualified, and which take place next week.
