- Simone Biles struggled with the twisties - a dangerous phenomenon dreaded by gymnasts and divers alike that causes disorientation in the air - during the Tokyo Olympics.
- After her less-than-stellar showing in gymnastic qualifications in Tokyo, Biles went back to her hotel room and practiced flips on her bed.
- She recorded a clip of the impromptu hotel room practice session and explained to the camera that she's "doing standing flips on the bed like an idiot" to reassure herself that she knows "how to do gymnastics."
