Simone Biles addresses 'traumas and downfalls' after suffering the 'twisties' in Tokyo ahead of return to Olympic Games for Team USA

Daily Mail  

Before Simone Biles can throw herself into the Olympics arena for a third time, she rewound to address her 'traumas and downfalls' as part of her upcoming Netflix documentary. The four-part series entitled 'Simone Biles Rising' will have its first part, which includes two episodes, debut on Netflix on July 17. Simone Biles details why she got her 'And still I rise' tattoo under her left shoulder Biles has been one of the most popular American athletes since making her Olympic debut 'Before I got this tattoo, it was a saying that I loved — obviously, Maya Angelou — and I was like, "And still I rise is perfect" because I feel like that’s kind of the epitome of my career and my life story,' Biles said of her 'And still I rise' tattoo under her left shoulder. 'Every comeback so to say that I’ve had, no matter what happens, I still come back, still try to do everything full force, full difficulty, like even after Tokyo. Assuming Biles wins at least one medal in Paris, she'll become the most-decorated American gymnast in Olympic Games history, a title many are shocked she does not already hold.
