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 really like how Simone Biles did not go to every competition because she cared about taking good care of herself. Everyone was expecting her to go and get a gold medal.

      I absolutely love the representation Simone Biles gives out!! Did you know that Simone Bikes and McKayla Skinner used to be enemies???

      I was very upset when the whole thing happened on tv. But besides the drama or minor set back I wish her the best of luck.

            I was so sad when she dropped out!! I am not a gymnast but I am a dancer, so they are kind of similar. I can't wait to see what she does next!!
