Simone Biles said she has recently had some frightening health conditions and is now recovering.
The gymnastics superstar shared the news that she “almost died” with her fans on Saturday, June 6, by posting a photo of her arm with three hospital wristbands on her Instagram Stories.
Biles wrote on the photo, “I’m not someone who would normally share things like this because I value my privacy in this day and age.” “But almost dying wasn’t on my bingo card earlier this week.”
The seven-time Olympic gold medalist explained that her husband, NFL safety Jonathan Owens, was in training camp with his new team, the Indianapolis Colts, when the incident occurred.
Biles and Owens live in a custom-built home in Spring, Texas. The gymnast is from a town outside of Houston. Owens played for the Houston Texans from 2019 to 2022 before spending time with the Green Bay Packers and Chicago Bears.
“This was one of the most terrifying experiences of my life, especially since Jonathan went to Indy to practice,” she said.
She went on to say that she is “resting in bed this week,” adding that she will “explain sooner or later” what happened.
She also posted a photo of herself lying in bed with her two dogs and said, “I’m here.”
Biles won four medals, including three gold, at the 2024 Paris Olympics. It was a spectacular comeback after she withdrew from the 2020 Tokyo Olympics after experiencing “twisties” (a term used in gymnastics to describe the loss of one’s sense of direction during a performance). Since then, she has become active in raising awareness about mental health.
