Biles Is Up To 5 Points Ahead Of The Second Place in The All-around Gymnastics Event And May Compete in The Olympics For 3 Times

Gymnastics fans had been unable to hold out much hope for the return of U.S. gymnastics diva Simone Biles, especially after she withdrew from the Tokyo Olympics due to psychological factors such as "loss of air sensation." However, Biles won a major event in the United States on the 5th, and it is possible to compete in the Olympic Games for 3 times.

The 26-year-old, a four-time Olympic gold medalist, finished with a total of 59.1 points at the Core Hydration American Classic in the Chicago suburb of Naperville on Monday, five points ahead of second place after the all-around event, which is equivalent to five major mistakes. Making her a favorite for the women's individual all-around event in Paris next year.

Biles, who won her first U.S. and world all-around titles in 2013, was competing in competition for the first time since the East Olympics two years ago. But Biles isn't focused on next year's Olympics yet, telling reporters after the race that "living in the moment" has helped her mental health.

Biles withdrew from the women's gymnastics team final at the East Olympics due to "twisties". According to the media "Health" (Health) explained that this psychological state, which occurs occasionally when athletes perform air or difficult actions, will temporarily lose contact with the brain and muscles, and then "lose direction and perception", and even "do not know how to land" in serious cases.

Biles, who won four gold MEDALS at the 2016 Rio Olympics, took a break of more than a year before resuming high-level training earlier this year, but she has continued to work on her mental health and her efforts are already paying off.

"I feel really good about where I am right now, mentally and physically," Biles said Friday. She also said she feels more prepared for this particular competition than she has in years.

In addition to the all-around event, Biles is also favored to win gold in the vault and floor events because of her unmatched difficulty. She will have challenges on the beam, especially on the uneven bars, her least favorite, but she is still more than enough to threaten the other medal favorites.

All but one of Ms. Biles's 26 individual Olympic or world Championship MEDALS came on the uneven bars, and at least 15 competitors in the world have completed more difficult routines than her so far this year.

China has been a constant threat on uneven bars and balance beam, where they won gold in the East Olympics, with Biles only winning bronze.

Russian athletes have been banned from any international gymnastics competition since Russia's invasion of Ukraine in early 2022, but they could compete in Paris next year after the International Federation of Gymnastics (FIG) said last month that eligible Russian and Belarusian athletes could compete in its certified events from New Year's Day, paving the way for their participation in Olympic qualifying events.

The Russian women's gymnastics team, which is competing under the name of the Russian Olympic Committee because of doping problems, won the team gold at the last Olympics, while the United States settled for silver. Biles's withdrawal from the team final was certainly the reason, but Russia also defeated the United States in the team preliminaries, which was the first time in 11 years that the United States women's gymnastics team lost at a major international event.

The competitive gymnastics team for the Paris Olympic Games will be expanded from four to five members in East Olympics, but considering the level and record of active players, it may be unprecedented to enter the national team. In addition to Biles, 2012 champion Gabby Douglas, 27, and East Olympic champion Sunisa Lee, 20, are likely to compete for an unprecedented three Olympic all-around champions in Paris.

The U.S. Olympic gymnastics team will be made up of trials in late June, one month before the Games begin.
