Next up for Simone Biles: Will she return for 2024 Olympics in Paris?

Biles had long said the Tokyo Olympics would be her last and, after the week she had, no one will blame her if her bronze-medal-winning balance beam routine was the last competitive one she does. The four-time Olympic champion withdrew from the team final after one event, then skipped the all-around and the first three event finals because rising anxiety has manifested itself in “the twisties.”

The condition causes gymnasts to lose their sense of air awareness, posing a danger to their physical safety.
