Simone Biles Recounts Terrifying Medical Emergency

Seven-time Olympic gold medalist Simone Biles disclosed a recent medical emergency that brought her perilously close to death. She shared this personal health scare on Instagram Stories on June 7, admitting that "almost dying wasn't on my bingo card earlier this week."

Biles described the situation as exceptionally frightening, particularly as her husband, Jonathan Owens, was away for practices at the time. She is currently resting and recovering in bed, accompanied by her dogs. The athlete shared glimpses of the elaborate flower arrangements she has received from supportive friends and family.

During her health scare, Biles's elevated heart rate was documented at 126 beats per minute. While she indicated she would explain the details of the incident later, she expressed deep appreciation for her close circle who reached out, visited, and sent flowers during her recovery.
