Simone Biles

I'll take a bronze. Yeah, so it's just like... From one spectrum to the other, from having a real bronze to a Tokyo bronze, it's like polar opposites. Like I'm swinging that thing around.

Yeah, I was mentally, physically exhausted, drained. I have nothing left, and I can't put on a face anymore. I physically could not wait to land in Houston, and they made us go to New York to do the Today Show. And so I got my hair and makeup done, whatever. Still putting on a great face, because I'm like, all I want to do is hold my mom and cry. I want my mom. Like, I just want my mom.

And, like, just for today, so, sweetie, smile. Yeah. And so as soon as we landed in Houston, again, there was at the gate so many cameras, so I still had to put on a face. I couldn't break down. But I hugged my mom, and I just, like, felt comforted. But I couldn't break down until we got home. And guess what? When I got home, they threw a parade. And they were like... Get ready, Simone.

We have a parade through the neighborhood. Like, get your convertible. Smile and wave. I just wanted to have, like, a breakdown. And I didn't want to have it. This mental breakdown, it was waiting.

I just wanted to cry and be like, this was the shittiest thing ever. I don't know why it happened. I just wanted to soak in my feelings and to be by myself. And I didn't want anybody to tell me that it was okay anymore. Because I'm tired of everybody telling me it's okay. It's okay to you. It's not okay to me. What happened was not okay. Like, so that, that was that. So when did you break down?

Probably when I had to unpack that suitcase. And then I went on tour and I was hosting my own tour across America, gold over America, which was absolutely amazing. The fans, the kids, beautiful. We put together an amazing production. But like, even before some of those shows, I had therapy. Say my, I can't recall what time our show started, but say it started at seven.

I would be on therapy from like, 4.30 to 6. And then I would give myself an hour to get ready and some days Jordan would come in my room because I had my own room. I'd be bawling my eyes out trying to put on my makeup because I'm talking to my therapist. about the Olympic experience, put on my face, woo, hi, Gold River America, love to see you. Like crazy.
