The star, widely dubbed as the greatest gymnast ever, took a two-year-long break following the 2021 Olympics, taking time away to work on her mental health.
Simone Biles made a return to sporting dominance on Saturday night, topping the podium on her gymnastics comeback., two years after taking a break following the Tokyo Olympics in 2021.
The four-time gold medallist showed off her tumbling, spinning and flipping routines, famous for being so difficult that no other gymnasts have ever replicated it, as if she had never been away. There were cheers across the Illinois arena as she climbed on to the podium, with the 26-year-old saying:"It just makes my heart warm because it's nice to come out here and have all that support, especially in a time like this where I was really nervous to compete again."
