Simone Bilesis celebrating a win!
After dominating the Core Hydration Classic with an overall score of 59.100 in a triumphant return to gymnastics this weekend, the four-time Olympic gold medalist, 26, shared an emotional post about the feat on Instagram Sunday.
“Happy to be back out on the floor! This journey has been a rollercoaster of emotions. Thank you for believing in me,” Biles added on Twitter.
On her Instagram Story, Biles also posted a photo of the sweet display she received on her flight after the U.S. Classics, which showed the interior of a jet decorated with huge silver balloons that read “CONGRATS,” as purple and white balloons covered the seats.

Biles began the competition with a solid uneven bars routine, which earned her a score of 14. She then competed on beam, which she achieved a score of 14.800 for after one error made in landing her full-twisting flip. Her floor routine went perfectly afterward, earning her a score of 14.9.
Biles finished with a score of 15.4 for vault after she landed her Yurchenko double pike, putting her top of the scoring board in the championships.

“It means the world because after everything that transpired in Tokyo, I worked on myself a lot,” Biles said following her win, perBBC. “I still do therapy weekly and it has just been so exciting to come out here and have the confidence I had before.”
“Everything has fallen into place. I feel really good about where I am now mentally and physically,” she continued. “I still think there are some things to work on in my routine but, for the first meet back, I would say it went pretty well. I’m very shocked and surprised.”
