Nastia Liukin thanked Simone Biles for “taking the sport of gymnastics to new heights” in an emotional Instagram post on Wednesday.
Liukin added her voice to the chorus of support for Biles after the American gymnast pulled out of the team and individual all-around Olympic competitions this week, citing her mental health.
Liukin, the 2008 Olympic all-around gold medalist, understands the unique pressure elite gymnasts endure.
