Happiness after a rough patch
And all of the good vibes and happiness have compensated for the last difficult years Simone Biles went through during her sports career.
An obscure period of her life
The best gymnast in history had to leave the 2020 Olympic Games because of anxiety problems. Around the same time, Simone Biles had to face media scrutiny when she participated in the trial against Larry Nassar, the former doctor of the U.S. female gymnastics team, who was accused of abuse.
