<p>British broadcaster <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/piers-morgan" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Piers Morgan</a> congratulated gymnast Simone Biles after the U.S. women earned gold in the team competition at the Paris Olympics on Tuesday — and he even took the time to admit he&#8217;d been wrong to criticize her after she dropped out of the 2021 Tokyo Olympics.</p>
<p>&#8220;Congrats @simonebiles on becoming the most decorated American gymnast of all time. I was too harsh on you in 2021 when you quit the team finals,&#8221; Morgan said in a post to X, also sharing a photo of himself with Biles. &#8220;You’re a great champion, and have since proved me wrong in the best possible way — by letting your supreme talent do the talking.&#8221;</p>

<p>Biles dropped from competition during the Tokyo Olympics, saying at the time that she needed to step back and focus on her mental health after getting &#8220;<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/its-a-miracle-i-landed-on-my-feet-simone-biles-discusses-twisties-tokyo-experience" target="_blank" rel="noopener">the twisties</a>&#8221; — a dangerous condition in which gymnasts are unable to tell where they are while flipping and twisting through the air.</p>
<p>&#8220;It’s so dangerous,&#8221; Biles <a href="https://www.thecut.com/article/simone-biles-olympics-2021.html">explained during an interview later that year</a>. &#8220;It’s basically life or death. It’s a miracle I landed on my feet. If that was any other person, they would have gone out on a stretcher. As soon as I landed that vault, I went and told my coach: ‘I cannot continue.'&#8221;</p>
<p>Morgan <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/piers-morgan-facing-backlash-for-criticizing-simone-biles-2021-7" target="_blank" rel="noopener">criticized</a> Biles&#8217; abrupt exit from the competition, saying in a Daily Mail op-ed that she had let down her teammates and her country. He was equally harsh on X, saying, &#8220;Are &#8216;mental health issues&#8217; now the go-to excuse for any poor performance in elite sport? What a joke.&#8221;</p>
<p>Biles, now the most decorated American gymnast in history, will compete later this week for the all-around title.</p>
