I didn't expect a medal today, I just wanted to go out there for me and that's why I did, Simone Biles, via CBS News.
On July 30, Biles took to Instagram Stories to explain how her "mind and body" had not been "in sync," which resulted in her previous withdrawal.
She had been experiencing a phenomenon known as the "twisties," which causes a gymnast to lose their sense of where they are in the air.

Not having an inch of control over your body, Simone Biles, via Instagram Stories.
What's even scarier is since I have no idea where I am in the air I also have NO idea how I'm going to land.
Or what I'm going to land on.
