Simone Biles knows a lot about making comebacks and even more about surviving in a world full of critics. However, those fireballs of criticism have never kept her from scoring big on the gymnastics mat. Today, she proved that once again. With an all-around score of 117.225, Simone Biles has secured her spot in the Paris Olympics. As usual, on her path to her third Olympics, she found no one standing between her and the top position. Yet, the critics might come again, hounding her for her personal life or her performances. Simone Biles believes in that probability.
In her post-game presser, the 27-year-old gymnast had a lot to say about the criticism that has made her suffer over the last several years. After thorough analysis, Simone Biles knows a few things about its basic pattern. Serving a view over that, she said, “They wanna see us fail”. Now, she is not going to sacrifice her positive mental state because of those criticisms. Furthermore, she won’t shed tears over those words anymore.
