Simone Biles is “clapping back at everyone” and us honest about her time in the Olympic Village: “Babysitting the medal”

 

Biles addressed the immense pressure associated with being a top athlete, particularly during the Olympics.

 

 

She candidly admitted to feeling overwhelmed at times, revealing that the constant spotlight and expectation can be incredibly taxing.

Biles also challenged the perception of athletes as solely focused on winning. She emphasized that while medals are a significant achievement, they don’t define an athlete’s worth.

The gymnast shared personal moments from her time in the Olympic Village, highlighting the camaraderie among athletes and the importance of support systems.

One particularly relatable anecdote involved Biles describing the feeling of “babysitting the medal” after winning.

She humorously explained that while the gold medal is a symbol of victory, it also comes with a sense of responsibility and pressure. Biles’s candidness has resonated with many, as it humanizes one of the world’s most celebrated athletes.

Simone Biles has been a vocal advocate for mental health awareness, particularly in the realm of sports.
