Simone Biles 'Still Scared to do Gymnastics' After Withdrawal From Tokyo Olympics

Simone Biles detailed her difficulty returning to gymnastics following her withdrawal from the Tokyo Olympics and said she is "still scared to do gymnastics."

Biles withdrew from Team USA's team gymnastics final in Tokyo in July, noting her "mind and body are simply not in sync." Biles detailed that she was suffering from the "twisties," which caused her to lose balance throughout various routines. Biles said Thursday she is still experiencing the issue as she returns to the sport.

"To do something that I've done forever and just not be able to do it because of everything I've gone through is really crazy because I love this sport so much," Biles said on NBC.
