Overview
- Biles posted on June 6 that she had been hospitalized and wrote that she “almost died,” sharing a selfie with multiple hospital wristbands to confirm the episode.
- She released a screenshot showing an elevated resting heart rate during recovery that was reported at about 126 beats per minute and has said she has been resting at home.
- When asked for details, Biles replied that she is “not ready to talk about it just yet,” and she has not provided any clinical explanation for the June 6 event.
- Less than a week after the hospitalization she traveled to Belize with husband Jonathan Owens and posted vacation and lifestyle content while saying she is “feeling more like myself.”
- Biles’ choice to share limited updates follows her past public decisions to prioritize health, and her silence leaves questions about her short‑term recovery, care plan, and any impact on future competition plans.
