Simone Biles is getting back on the mat!

“I think, right now, I still have to heal mentally and physically, so I will be in Paris. I just don’t know at what role, if that is an athlete or an audience member, so we’ll just have to see,” Biles shared with Corden.

Later that year, she told ET that she received an “overwhelming amount of love and support of outreach of fans, family.”
“I’m just very blessed to still be in this position and to have so many people reaching out, showing love and respect for me,” she said. “It shines a whole new light on the
