Super gymnast Simone Biles, who has pulled out of the singles and team competitions at the Tokyo Games, addressed her fans on Twitter late Wednesday to thank them for the support.
“The outpouring of love and support I received made me realize that I am beyond my accomplishments and gymnastics that I have never believed before,” she wrote on Twitter.
The American star withdrew from the team final earlier this week after appearing to falter during a vaulting competition, opening the door for the Russian team of athletes to win the gold medal for the first time in nearly three decades.
Laurie Hernandez said Simone Biles’ ability to do the disassembled vault attempt was ‘unbelievable’.
American Gymnastics announced, Wednesday, that it will not compete in individual events “in order to focus on her mental health.”

One follower praised Biles on her tweet, posting, “This is the best update we can see. You’re a damn champ, I don’t know I’ve felt more proud as a gym fan since the old days. The script you’re rewriting will empower literally millions.”
