Jonathan Owens said he is proud of Biles for opening up on her mental health issues at the Olympics.
Predictably, however, there were also plenty who vocally disagreed with her stance and Owens acknowledged dealing with criticism was somewhat uncharted territory for his girlfriend.
"When you're used to everything going right for so long, and all of a sudden you kind of hit a hiccup in your performance, you kind of get down on yourself, kind of lose confidence," he said.. Together with the silver in the team's event, the medal takes her Olympic tally to seven, the joint-most for a U.S. female gymnast along with Shannon Miller.
"I am going back home in one piece, which I was a little bit nervous about. It's not how I wanted it to go, but I think we've opened bigger doors and bigger conversations," she toldOwens echoed the stance:"I was so proud of her. Just to be able to overcome mentally what was going on."
