The 24-year-old, who withdrew from the women’s team final and other individual events to focus on her mental health upon experiencing the “twisties,” earned the bronze for her string balance beam with a strong performance, raking in a score of 14.000.
“I was proud of myself just to go out there after what I’ve been through,” Biles said, per Reuters, after her third place in the balance beam at the Tokyo Olympics.
As ESPN notes, Biles also earned a bronze medal in beam at the 2016 Rio Games. She now ties Shannon Miller as the most decorated Olympian in American gymnastics history. While each gymnast has seven medals to her name, Biles has more golds (4) than Miller (2).
