At 24 years old, in her second Olympic Games, she
suffers a crisis of self-confidence
, due to pressure and a problem of loss of references in space, which puts this gymnast in physical danger in acrobatics.
The balance beam final is the last in the women's artistic gymnastics program and is therefore the last chance to see the American champion in Tokyo.
Biles regularly publishes his moods on social networks:
"I have the right to have limits and not feel bad (for having them, ndlr)"
, could be read in the text of a drawing published on Sunday.
Three days ago, she posted a video that showed her falling off the uneven bars, explaining what the
"twisties"
phenomenon consisted of
, which made her lose her ability to have references in space, which can lead to a accident.
After having had a problem jumping in the final of the general team competition, which led him to abandon in the course of the competition, he had explained with great frankness that he had to face his demons and decide to preserve his sanity after having suffered great pressure to win these last weeks.
Biles was for months presented as the great star of the Tokyo Games, with great coverage of magazines and television networks.
