In her new book titled The Balance: My Years Coaching Simone Biles, the 28-year-old Olympian's former coach Aimee Boorman revealed that Biles struggled with the condition even before she was forced to pull out of the Tokyo Games.
According to The Guardian, Boorman wrote that Biles first “experienced this proprioception phenomenon in January of 2016.”
Boorman — who coached Biles from seven years old all the way through the 2016 Rio Olympics — recalled that Biles even dealt with the twisties during the 2015 world championships.
Simone would never crash," she continued. "She would just stop herself before ever attempting a twist.”
Boorman confirmed in her book that with the help of therapy and her family, Biles ended up being able to twist in time for the 2016 Rio Games and added “Thankfully the twisties had passed without injury... we demonstrated that an elite gymnast can avoid training elements for weeks without losing their skills.”
"I’m getting lost on my skills. I just don’t get how It’s like I’m so prepared but I don’t know if I’m overthinking," she continued. "It’s getting to the point where it’s becoming dangerous because I’m getting lost on all of my floor skills and it’s like it could happen any other time, I don’t get why it's happening any other time."
