This brought her total of Olympic and World Championship medals up to 30.Biles stated that after the performance, he didn't want it to end. My mental health is my main concern. My perception is that mental health is more common in sports now."We must protect our minds, and our bodies. We cannot just do what the world tells us to."I don’t trust myself anymore. Perhaps it's because I am getting older. You felt the weight of the entire world for a few days, when everyone tweeted you."We are not just athletes. "We're human beings at the end. Sometimes you have to take a step back."
