Simone Biles Tells Difficulties of Training With Olympic Delay

The 24-year-old is trying to become the first woman in more than 50 years to repeat as an Olympic champion.

Simone Biles hops up in a chair and lets out a small sigh."Only 12 more weeks," the greatest gymnast of her generation and any other says with a hint of wistfulness. Not 12 weeks until the 2021 Olympics begin. But until they're over. Don't misunderstand. This summer, the 24-year-old has every intent on becoming the first woman to repeat as Olympic champion in more than a half-century. To drag, push and pull her sport into the future. To use her ever-expanding platform to advocate for real, substantive change within USA Gymnastics as it tries to emerge from the rubble of the Larry Nassar sexual abuse scandal.
