Four-time Olympic gymnastics champion Simone Biles, 24, believes she should have quit way before this year’s Tokyo Games. The American withdrew from five of her six finals in Japan to focus on her mental health.

Biles, who had been expected to add to the four gold medals she won at Rio 2016, spoke in 2018 about being abused by team doctor Larry Nassar, who is now serving a life sentence in jail. “I should have quit way before Tokyo, when Larry Nassar was in the media for two years. It was too much,” she said in a new interview with New York Magazine.
