Simone Biles speaks after withdrawing from Tokyo Olympics competition

For years, the subject of mental health has been stigmatized.

Now, Simone Biles, often dubbed the GOAT of gymnastics, is putting a larger spotlight on the topic.

She withdrew from the individual all-around competition and the team competition on Tuesday. Instead, she was cheering on her teammates from the sidelines, as they took home the silver medal.

She says she needs to focus on her mental well-being. #WakeUpCLT #TokyoOlympics
