Simone Biles revealed Tuesday her aunt had died "unexpectedly" during the gymnast's time in Tokyo for the Olympics.
Biles's announcement comes less than a week after she withdrew from the women's team final, the individual all-around event, vault and uneven bars and the final for floor. The four-time gold medalist said the decision to withdraw was made for her mental health, raising a topic that has received increased attention during the Tokyo Games.
"At the end of the day, people don't understand what we are going through," Biles told reporters Tuesday, per CBS News.
