Simone Biles overwhelmed with anxiety in Olympic Village<\/p>\n

\nThe 27-year-old gymnast – who won gold in the all-around, vault, floor and team events as well as picking up bronze on balance beam at the Rio Olympics in 2016 before withdrawing from several events at the Tokyo 2020 games – admitted her anxiety was ramping up because she was the focus of so much attention from her fellow athletes.<\/p>\n

\nShe said in a TikTok video: “I\u2019m really nervous, but that\u2019s to be expected. I did have therapy this morning, so I feel a little bit better. I\u2019ve just worked so hard, mentally, to get to this moment.<\/p>\n

\n“I have not done much around the Olympic Village, and it\u2019s because the first day we got here, and I got to the cafeteria and a lot of people were asking me for photos, like nonstop, and whenever I sat down to eat my anxiety was so bad I was shaking. [I was] so overwhelmed.<\/p>\n

\n\u201cI just go to the store, stock up on food, and just like, stay here because it gets me so anxious.”<\/p>\n

\nNine-time Olympic medalist Simone has already won gold with her USA teammates and individually with the all-around gymnastics title at the Paris Olympics and recently revealed that therapy has helped her “physically and mentally”.<\/p>\n

\nShe told Today\u2019s Hoda Kotb: “I feel a lot more free, especially going to therapy and doing those sessions so that physically and mentally I feel better, and I know that’s an important part of my routine. So just staying on top of that, it lightens the load a lot.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
