  • Gymnast Simone Biles is opening up more about why she withdrew from the Olympics.
  • On Friday, Biles shared on her Instagram Story to post footage of her struggling during her morning practice.
  • While the footage has disappeared from her Story, Biles reposted her messages saying, "for anyone saying I quit, I didn't quit."
  • "my mind & body are simply not in sync—as you can see here," Biles explained. "i don't think you realize how dangerous this is on hard/competition surface. nor do I have to explain why I put health first. physical health is mental health."
