Simone Biles suggested she came close to death after a medical emergency that left her in hospital. “I’m not one to normally share things like this because I value privacy in today’s age, but almost dying wasn’t on my bingo card earlier this week,” Biles wrote in an Instagram story on Saturday. The story also showed a photo of her wrist encircled by several hospital bracelets. “This was one of, if not the scariest experience of my life,” she wrote. The seven-time Olympic gymnastics champion said the experience was made even more frightening by the fact that her husband, NFL player Jonathan Owens, was away on a training camp with his team, the Indianapolis Colts. “I’ve been in bed resting this week,” the 29-year-old wrote. “I’ll explain sooner or later but [shout-out] to my close circle who reached out, checked in, visited + or sent flowers.” In an interview with L’Equipe last year, Biles acknowledged the toll the stress of elite sport has taken on her body.
