Simone Biles Says She’s Doing ‘as Good as Can Be’ While Competing With Calf Injury at Olympics

Simone Biles injured her leg while warming up during the qualifying round of the 2024 Olympics, but still delivered impressive routines on all apparatuses.

Although she was noticeably dealing with some pain in her calf during the all-around qualifying round on Sunday, July 28, the pro athlete powered through and delivered impressive routines on all apparatuses. However, she suffered from a gymnastics mental block called the “twisties” and withdrew from most of the competition, returning only to perform her balance beam routine, which earned her a bronze medal. At the Olympics, Simone has the support of various family members, as well as her husband, Jonathan Owens, who was given special permission to miss NFL training camp so he could be in Paris for the occasion.
