Biles has experienced the twisties before, including in the lead-up to the 2016 Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, where she won five medals, four of them gold. But when this happened before, they occurred on vault and floor exercise.Now she’s experiencing them on uneven bars and balance beam, as well.“This time it's literally on every event. which sucks ... really bad,” Biles wrote on Instagram.
This is an even greater fear of injuring herself than ever before.
it’s clear she is not her usual self. She is supposed to do a double twisting somersault and, in the first video, she gets through a half twist before suddenly dropping out of the air and landing flat on her back. In the second, she makes it 1½ times around.
This section of the article is trying to portray how it affects Simone personally.
One former gymnast, Jacoby Miles, said in an Instagram post that she only had the twisties once. She is now paralyzed after getting them mid-air and breaking her neck.For Biles, the physical risk is even greater. She does the most difficult skills of any female gymnast – and more difficult than those of some men – and being even the slightest bit off could be catastrophic.“literally can not tell up from down. It’s the craziest feeling ever. Not having an inch of control over your body,” Biles said on Instagram. “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. Head/hands/feet/back.”
This is showing how serious this could be and how easily it could lead to catastrophic events.
She said in the press conference afterward that she had developed the “twisties,” meaning her brain and her body movements are not in sync, causing her to lose track of where she is in the air
This is the explanation of how the twisties is in medical terms. This gives me a greater understanding of how it truly looks like.
“I don’t think you realize how dangerous this is on hard/competition surface,” Biles wrote.“Sometimes I can’t even fathom twisting,” she added. "I seriously cannot comprehend how to twist.”
This is how the twisties physically affects Simone and her ability to do gymnastics. This was explained in great detail as to how she felt while trying to perform.
