Olympic gymnast Simone Biles had a brush with death this week in what she called “one of, if not the scariest experience” of her life and is now home resting, she shared in a social media post on Saturday.
The 29-year-old shared a photo on her Instagram story on Saturday of several medical bracelets on her wrist with text explaining what happened.
“I’m not one to normally share things like this because I value privacy in today’s age. but almost dying wasn’t on my bingo card earlier this week. this was one of, if not the scariest experience of my life,” she wrote in the post.
Biles said the experience was especially scary as her husband, Indianapolis Colts safety Johnathan Owens was in Indiana for practice.
“i’ve been in bed resting this week, I’ll explain sooner or later but s/o to my close circle who reached out, checked in, visited & sent flowers. loooovveeee y’all,” she wrote in the post.
Biles also shared photos of two bouquets of flowers and of her lying in bed with a heartrate monitor alongside her two dogs.
