“It’s really amazing. Everybody in here believes in me,” she said at the time. “So I just need to start believing in myself a little bit more, but it feels amazing and I love the fans, I love the crowd. It was really special.”
As she continues to inspire fans, Biles said she is bringing a new approach to the mat.
“I think we have to be a little bit more cautious about the way we do things,” she said in a recent interview with NBC’s “TODAY” show. “Everything that we’re doing leading up to [Paris 2024] is very intentional. We’ve kind of been playing it on the down-low this time, making sure mentally and physically are both intact.”
The gymnast is focused on “being intentional, going to therapy, and making sure everything is aligned so that [she] can do [her] best in the gym, be a good wife, good daughter, good friend, all the good things,” said Biles, who married NFL player Jonathan Owens earlier this year.
USA Gymnastics has also marked a shift in its approach, changing its leadership structure last year in a move that saw directorship divided between three people: former elite gymnasts Chellsie Memmel and Alicia Sacramone Quinn and longtime coach Dan Baker.
