Time Magazine gives the "Athlete Of The Year" to Simone Biles, who is not a gymnast.
It's a controversial pick by Time, who chose the 4x Olympic gold medalist as the recipient of the prestigious honor.
The "Twisties", where a gymnast gets lost in the air and is at risk of falling, caused her to pull out of the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.
At the time, she explained that she was seeing a therapist to help battle her demons, and that she had to focus on her mental health.
Athletes and fans across the country celebrated the fact that Biles put a spotlight on mental health.
Proponents of the idea that Biles quit on her team and country insisted that there was nothing to celebrate.
Suni Lee is firmly on the side of those who say that Simone Biles changed sports forever.
Simone changed the way we view our well-being. It showed us that we are more than just a sport and that we can have hard days. It made us human.
She wouldn't change a thing about how she handled Tokyo.
Simone told Time that she wouldn't change it for anything, even though things weren't going the way she wanted.
