Simone Biles is a 24-year-old woman who is part of the USA women's gymnastic team for the Olympics. During the Olympic team finals, Biles pulled out due to her 'mental health situation'. Because of this issue, Biles talked to one of her trusted teammates, Jade Carey, to fill her spot so that the team could still carry on with the finales. "She told me, 'good luck', and go out there, do the best you can and have fun," Carey said.
Carey ended up in 8th place, however, she was still proud of herself because she didn't expect to have this opportunity for competing. Biles and other supportive teammates watched from the stands and cheered her on.
