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 totally agree with her!!! I've been a huge fan of Simone Biles ever since last year when she started getting CRAZY-popular. I think mental health is soooo important when it comes to sports, or even life. I can totally relate to that because I'm a pre-ballerina, and it is really stressful when you can't get something right, and you forget the positive side of that sport, or activity.
