Paris, France – Gymnastics superstar Simone Biles displayed her surprising resilience once again as she powered through a leg injury to secure the top spot in the Olympic qualifying round.
Biles appeared to suffer a lower leg injury during a warm-up routine, causing immediate concern among fans and teammates. Despite the setback, the four-time Olympic gold medalist wrapped her ankle and bravely completed her routines.
Her coach, Cecile Landi, praised Biles’ determination, stating, “What she was able to do, with looking like she had some soreness or something in her lower leg, is remarkable.” Landi also announced that Biles had experienced a similar issue earlier in the month but had recovered before the Olympics.
