AceShowbiz - In a recent TikTok video, Simone Biles admitted that her body was feeling exhausted towards the end of the 2024 Paris Olympics. "I am really tired," she said. "I feel like my body is slowing starting to shut down."
Biles' fatigue may have contributed to her fall during Monday's balance beam final, resulting in her first non-medal performance at the Olympics. She also stepped out of bounds twice during her floor routine, earning a silver medal.
However, Biles emphasized that her "tired" body wasn't the sole factor affecting her performance. She described the balance beam final as "weird" and "awkward" due to the strange ambiance, including excessive cheering and shushing.
Despite these hiccups, Biles remained optimistic about her future in gymnastics, even hinting at the possibility of competing in the 2028 Olympics in Los Angeles. She also praised her therapist for helping her overcome the trauma she experienced as a gymnast.
Meanwhile, Biles debuted a new hairstyle on Instagram, featuring loose curls. Her hairstylist, Brenton Diallo, expressed his excitement at styling her hair while she was "on top of the world." Days earlier, Biles had clapped back at critics who mocked her hair during one of her Olympic performances.
"Next time you wanna comment on a black girl's hair, JUST DON'T," she wrote on Instagram Stories. "I'm not embarrassed about it anymore."
