“It’s not easy coming back to the sport, coming back to the organization that has failed you,” Biles said.
Simone Biles tries not to think about what happened to her and so many of her teammates while Larry Nassar was the team doctor for USA Gymnastics.
“It’s not easy coming back to the sport, coming back to the organization that has failed you,” the four-time Olympic gold medalist told reporters after her training session Wednesday night. “It’s not easy being out here. I feel every day is a reminder of what I went through and what I’ve been through and what I’m going through and how I’ve come out of it. I try just not to think about it.”
“It’s hard to talk about. It’s really hard to talk about. I just feel like ... I don’t know,” she said. “I don’t mean to cry. But it’s hard coming here for an organization having had them fail us so many times. And we had one goal and we’ve done everything that they’ve asked us for, even when we didn’t want to, and they couldn’t do one damn job. You had one job. You literally had one job and you couldn’t protect us.
