Biles said she has real-world issues beyond her athletic prowess, which is packed like dynamite inside her 4-foot-8 frame.
Biles won a silver medal at these Tokyo Games, which gives her six medals in her career—she won four gold medals and a bronze at the 2016 Rio Games.
The pressure began mounting more than five years ago, though. Biles didn't say what"mental health" issues she has faced after her Tokyo withdrawal, but the signs were there over the years. "It was so hard for me to even say it out loud, that I knew how hard, like, it crushed me. It would crush my parents. And I didn't want them to feel the same pain that I felt. Because it was very dark times," Biles said on 60 Minutes.
