Simone Biles Relying on Her ‘Secret Weapons’ to Score Olympic Gold Again in Paris

Gymnastics great Simone Biles is bending over backwards to avoid a repeat of her Tokyo Olympic nightmare and keep her head in this year’s Paris Games — by having weekly therapy sessions!

Biles, 27, says the counseling is helping her feel “comfortable and confident enough to be competing” in France. The pint-sized powerhouse confides, “It’s been a crucial part of
my training regimen.”

The four-time Olympic gold medalist shocked the world by pulling herself out of the all-around competition in Japan in 2021 after suffering a case of the “twisties,” a confidence rattling mental block that causes a gymnast to lose control in the air and become disoriented.

In 2021, she said, “ It just sucks when you’re fighting with your own head .”

An insider close to the celebrated athlete exclusively tells Life & Style , “Simone’s mental health is extremely important to her, and she wants to be a gold medal winner again!”

Biles says she also gets emotional support from her husband of 15 months — 29-year-old Jonathan Owens , an NFL safety with the Chicago Bears, who is watching his wife compete against the globe’s best! The gushing gal says of her man, “We’re always rooting for each other — on and off the field.”

The insider adds, “ Therapy and her husband by her side are Simone’s secret weapons to try and get the gold again!”
