Simone Biles opens up about juggling Olympic tension and fan expectations amid the Paris Olympic finals.
“Couldn’t stop shaking,” Simone Biles talks about having panic attacks prior to Olympic all-around final in gymnastics
Olympian Simone Biles in a recent TikTok video admitted having panic attacks before Olympic all-around finals in gymnastics. In the video, she answered questions about her followers where she opened up about the mental pressure of not only performing in the Olympic stage but also juggling between fan expectations.
She said that she can’t even go to the cafeteria too often as fans start swarming around her. While in a positive way, she loves and feeds off of their love and support, she admits it sometimes gets daunting.
Biles, one of the most decorated gymnast of all-time, returned to the Olympic stage after quitting mid-way in Tokyo 2021 due to “twisties”. She fell down to mental pressure and even thought of quitting gymnastics.
Her debut in the Olympics 2024 put her in a whole celebrity spotlight as everyone admired her mental strength, and confidence to come back again. However, her being one of the biggest names of the 2024 Paris Games came with its backdrops too:

She further added that she avoid going to the cafeteria for days on and just stocks up food to have when needed. The day she got crowded, was because she went outside to meet a friend.
Simone Biles on Paris Olympics expectations and mental health
Since returning to the sports world, Simone Biles has awed both her fans and competitors with record-breaking performances one after the other. She won her seventh Olympic gold medal in the latest vault final at the Paris Games.
In her journey from the Tokyo 2020 incident to a positively overwhelming 2024 Paris Olympics performance, she has time and again shown what it means to be an Olympian, especially herself. Biles thanked her therapist, coach, family, friends, and fans for being there for her when she needed them the most.
