Following her triumphant comeback Tuesday, four-time Olympic champion Simone Biles revealed that her aunt died just two days prior to competing in the balance beam event.
Biles, 24, withdrew from four individual finals – all-around, vault, floor and uneven bars –last week citing mental health concerns and "the twisties,” a condition when gymnasts lose their sense of awareness in the air.
Biles’ coach Cecile Cantqueteau-Landi opened up to reporters Tuesday about what Biles had been going through during the Tokyo Games including her aunt’s unexpected death. ?
