‘Almost Dying Wasn’t on My Bingo Card’: Simone Biles Suffers Health Scare

The seven-time Olympic champion said she was resting in bed and would explain later after sharing a photo of hospital wristbands and a 126-beats-per-minute heart rate.

  • On Saturday, Simone Biles shared a photo of hospital bracelets on Instagram Stories, revealing she suffered a frightening health crisis she called "one of the scariest experiences of my life."
  • The situation was made more frightening because her husband, Jonathan Owens, was away for off-season training with the Indianapolis Colts NFL team during the emergency.
  • In follow-up images, Biles shared a screenshot showing her heart rate at 126 beats per minute while resting in bed. She has not disclosed the specific cause of the medical emergency.
  • Though she currently values her privacy, the 29-year-old stated she will "explain sooner or later." She has won 41 Olympic and world championship medals throughout her decorated career.
  • This health scare follows her previous withdrawal from the 2021 Tokyo Games, when Biles suffered from the "twisties," a mental disconnect during aerial movement. She has not confirmed whether this incident relates to illness or injury.
