Biles, 24, dealt with mental health issues and a case of the “twisties” in Tokyo. She did return on Tuesday to compete in the balance beam finals, winning the bronze medal.

“I think I have to relish and take this Olympics in, and kind of recognize what I’ve done with my career because after 2016, I didn’t get to do that,” she said. “Life just happens so quickly and now I have a greater appreciation for life after everything that’s happened in the last five years.”
