Headline: Simone Biles 'didn't think' she would return to gymnastics

Caption: The Olympic medallist recently took to X - formerly known as Twitter - to respond to a fan expressing their surprise at her return to professional gymnastics. After the fan posted, "remember like five months ago we didn't think Simone would ever compete again.” Simone, 26, replied, "real talk I didn't think so either." On 6 October, the sports star won her sixth individual all-round title and 34th overall medal at the world championships in Belgium. She returned to competing in August this year - beginning with the Core Hydration Classic event - following a two-year break.
