Simone Biles isn’t letting the twisties stop her this time.  

The seven-time Olympic champion pulled out of multiple events at the 2020 Tokyo Games, including the individual all-around competition, after suffering from the twisties – a situation where gymnasts lose control of their bodies while twisting in the air.  

Biles, 26, confirmed her return to gymnastics in June after taking two years off and did a Q&A on her Instagram Story on Sunday where fans asked about her comeback. 

“What’s your hardest even to come back to?” one user asked. 

“It’s always bars…mentally & physically. But this go around…BABY!!! Twisting on any event. Iykyk,” Biles wrote in response. 

“Mainly because when the twisties happen, you go right into the gym and work on it. I took over a year off and THEN came back…So I was petrified. But I’m fine. I’m twisting again. No worries. All is good.” 

Biles will be making her competition debut Aug. 5 in the U.S. Classic at NOW Arena in Hoffman Estates, her first event since the Tokyo Olympics two summers ago.

It’s an emotional return for the star gymnast who faced backlash for her decision to put her safety first when withdrawing from some 2020 events. 

“It’s the craziest feeling ever. Not having an inch of control over your body,” Biles said in 2021. 

“What’s even scarier is since I have no idea where I am in the air, I also have NO idea how I am going to land. Or what I am going to land on. Head/hands/feet back…”

Despite her bout with the twisties, Biles earned a bronze medal in the balance beam final in Tokyo. 

Biles isn’t the only big name from USA gymnastics returning to the sport. 

Gabby Douglas, 27, announced earlier this month that she is starting her journey back. 

Douglas competed with USA gymnastics in both London and Rio de Janeiro in 2016, but sat out of the 2020 games in Tokyo before taking a hiatus from social media and the spotlight last August. 

“I know I have a huge task ahead of me and I am beyond grateful and excited to get back out on the floor,” Douglas wrote in an Instagram post. “There’s so much to be said but for now … let’s do this.”
