Last July, as Simone Biles soared high above the vault at the Tokyo Olympics, she lost herself. She took a mental health break during the Tokyo Olympics this summer and later revealed that she was suffering from a frightening mental hiccup that left her unsure of her whereabouts in mid air. Time magazine named Team USA gymnast Simone Biles the 2021 Athlete of the Year in December. Avoiding disaster requires a constant, firm grip on mental acuity. Congrats to the brave Simone Biles.
