As a professional athlete, Simone Biles has faced pain, injuries, and emotional challenges, but she was not prepared for a recent health scare. The 29-year-old gymnast reported on her Instagram Stories in June 2026 that she «almost» died due to a frightening health incident and shared a photo of her hospital bracelet. What happened to her, and is she still coping with it?
«I'm not one to usually share these kinds of things because I value my privacy at this time, but almost dying was not on my to-do list this week», - Simone wrote in her Instagram Stories. «It was one of, if not the scariest experiences of my life».
She also noted that her husband, Indianapolis Colts linebacker Jonathan Owens, was not there as he was at practice.
Here’s what we know about Simone’s hospitalization and her overall health.
As mentioned, Simone shared a photo of her arm with a hospital bracelet on Instagram Stories on June 6, 2026. The Olympic champion noted that the health incident was serious enough that she «almost» died.
However, she did not specify what exactly happened to her. Thus, the details of her health condition remain unclear.
It is unclear whether Simone was diagnosed with any serious issue, and she has not confirmed whether her health condition is related to illness, injury, or something else.
Despite the frightening incident, it is likely that Simone’s health is fine. She has openly discussed her ADHD diagnosis throughout her gymnastics career and maintains her physical fitness through regular training.
The most notable physical setback for Simone occurred when she experienced «the twisties» at the Tokyo Olympics in 2021. This condition is a phenomenon where a gymnast feels a disconnect between their mind and body during twists, flips, or aerial maneuvers. Attempting to execute a jump at the games, Simone was unable to land and withdrew from competition.
«It's tough, but being a female athlete is even tougher because everyone is hoping for your failure and wants you to mess up», - Simone said at the time, according to NBC. «What we do is not easy; otherwise, everyone could do it. But in the end, we are not just athletes or entertainment—we are also human beings, and we have emotions and issues that we work through behind the scenes that we don’t talk about. I just think people should know more about that»
