The four-time American gold medalist, who dropped out of the Olympic team and all-around events, said she can't tell up from down.
“I don’t think you realize how dangerous this is on hard, competitive surface,” she said with the video.
Biles told fans that her “mind and body are simply not in sync” and that the problem emerged randomly after the qualifying round. Biles said she cannot tell up from down and the issue is persisting. “Sometimes I can’t even fathom twisting. I seriously cannot comprehend how to twist. Strangest and weirdest thing.”
Biles, who hasn’t said whether she’ll compete in the apparatus finals after teammate Sunisa Lee captured the all-around gold, revisited the awkward vault that precipitated her pullout in the team event. She aborted a more difficult move after getting confused in the air, and shot back at trolls who say she quit.
