Olympic gold medalist Simone Biles is celebrating her return to gymnastics after she swept the Core Hydration Classic, per People Magazine.
USA Gymnastics posted a video of her warm up to X, formerly Twitter, on Saturday, which displayed Biles smiling and performing with precision.
The post said, “…and that was just the warmup.”
After executing a tight routine, Biles celebrated on social media. She thanked fans on Instagram and said, “tears of joy as I make this comeback, surrounded by the love you’ve shown!”
She noted she was, “happy to be back out on the floor!” in a post on X.
“This journey has been a rollercoaster of emotions. thank you for believing in me,” she added.”
This is her first competition since leaving the 2021 Tokyo Olympics due to mental health issues.
Biles had suffered sexual abuse at the hands of USA Gymnastics doctor Larry Nassar along with over 100 other victims, according to NBC News.
Biles testified against Nassar stating, “I don’t want another young gymnast, or Olympic athlete, or any individual to experience the horror that I and hundreds of others have endured before, during and continuing to this day in the wake of the Larry Nassar abuse.”
