Simone Biles is prioritizing her mental health this Olympics — even in the middle of competition.

After winning the all-around competition on Thursday, Aug. 1 at Bercy Arena in Paris, Biles, 27, reflected on a meditative moment from her gold medal performance. In a Instagram Post on Friday, the three-time Olympian shared a picture from mid-competition, where she sits cross-legged with her eyes closed, breathing deeply.

“Mental health matters,” Biles captioned the post.

That’s been a focus for the six-time Olympic gold medalist, after speaking openly about how her mental health suffered during the 2020 Tokyo Games. It was there that she was forced to withdraw from the team final and all-around competition due to the “twisties,” a dangerous situation where she was getting “lost” in the air as she struggled mentally.

“Leading up to Tokyo, I was so nervous about getting injured physically that I kind of ignored my mental health. And so I put that on the back burner and I was injured, except it was mental injury,” she told reporters, including PEOPLE, after her win on Thursday. “And I think that was almost harder than physical.”

When Biles returned to gymnastics last summer, she made sure to put her mental health first, namely with regular therapy sessions — which was how she started both days of competition this week, including Tuesday morning before she and her teammates won the team final.

“This morning at 7 a.m. I saw my therapist, and there’s a time change, so she’s so amazing for allowing me to do that these couple of days during Paris,” the champ said. “So just making sure I’m mentally well. I think you see that out on the competition floor.”

She also reflected on how far she’s come in the last three years since her withdrawal, thanks to therapy.

“Just keep that up and just to see to where I’ve grown, even from Tokyo and even from a 19-year-old in Rio, is amazing,” she said. “So I’m really proud of the work that I’ve put in.”
