Simone Biles was forced to withdraw from five of the six finals at the Tokyo 2020 Olympics (Credit: Agência Brasil Fotografias/ CC BY 2.0/ Wikimedia Commons)

Thanks to hours of training, gymnasts seem to effortlessly fly through the air at impossible heights. However, a psychological condition, known as "the twisties," can sidetrack even the most experienced gymnast. The phenomenon, attributed to stress, disorients the athletes and causes them to lose awareness while they are in the middle of a routine. It can lead to serious injury.

              I think she is so brave and powerful. I am sad that Simone Biles can't perform, but I think that is best for her. Wish she get better soon. If you agree with me please follow me.

                    I think she is even more brave for dropping out than she is if she competed anyway. Anyone else agree?
