There is nothing to reproach Simone Biles, the athlete has her name in golden letters in the United States, being the gymnast with the most medals in Olympic history in the country. At the last Paris 2024 Olympic Games, she won three gold medals and one silver, which is crazy
We must remember that she had already retired in 2020 due to mental health problems and a calf injury that bothered her a lot, which makes her medal tally in Paris even greater for overcoming very delicate situations.
However, the gymnast seems to have found a way to attract the attention of her loyal fans who followed her path in the last Olympic Games, as she showed a memory that far from showing indignation or annoyance, many had flashbacks of what happened 11 months ago
Good memories, but with a feeling of shame
The African-American athlete posted a photo in the ‘Stories‘ section of Instagram of a wide-open blue suitcase, revealing a treasure trove of items inside: a white sweatshirt with the United States emblem shining, a blue backpack ready for action and gray sweatpants that promise performance! On the floor, right next to the suitcase, were white sneakers.
“I’m really embarrassed to admit that I still haven’t unpacked one of my suitcases from the Olympics,” she wrote alongside the post.
A month after Simone Biles revealed her “secret Olympic closet”, more details came to light. This “closet” is a room where she keeps her memories of Tokyo 2020. Biles relives those special moments, sometimes crying, when her husband Jonathan Owens is away at work.
Every object in that corner awakens in Simone a tide of feelings, from tears of joy to deep pride in her achievements. It is practically a sanctuary where she relives her legacy, her love for gymnastics and her extraordinary journey in this striking sport.
