Simone Biles is back.

Athletes sometimes go through personal struggles and they tend to leave the game and the spotlight for a solitary period to work on themselves especially when it has to do with mental issues. Something of that sort happened to Olympic legend Simone Biles, the GOAT of US gymnastics. Simone Biles took two  years off the field to work on herself and she is finally back and back for good.

She left the 2021 Tokyo Olympics due to Mental Illness two years ago and since then she’s been away from the sports.

The gymnastics community and her avid fans couldn’t hide their excitement when she made a return after two years on Saturday night for a competitive return at the U.S Classic in a suburb of Chicago and as usual, she began her comeback tour with a win.

Bikes had a brilliant comeback. Her all-around score of 59.10 was a full five points clear of runner-up Leanne Wong − and more than two points higher than the total with which Brazil’s Rebeca Andrade claimed the 2022 world championship.

“I feel really good about where I am right now, mentally and physically,” Biles said. “I still think there are some things to work on, (mistakes) throughout the night in my routines. But for the first meet back, I would say it went pretty well.” She stated after her performance.

The 26-year-old star − who already has four gold medals, 19 world championships and 24 national titles to her name proved to the world why she’s one of the greatest athletes ever.

Exactly 732 days after her last competitive appearance, on the balance beam at the 2021 Tokyo Olympics, she  reminded the world of her brilliance − and proved that it hasn’t dimmed.

Biles explained that she had high hopes that she would make a comeback to the game.

“It was like a mental injury, you know?” she explained. “So something like that, with the proper work and the proper help, I knew I could come back and hopefully have a shot. I still get a little bit nervous, but I think it’s just subconscious,” Biles said. “Other than that, I know my body is capable and prepared and all of that stuff, so I just have to trust my training” She continued.
