America's gymnast sweetheart had called this year's competition her "Redemption Tour" and did not disappoint, leading this year's team to a heart-thumping performance and a team gold after taking second at the Tokyo Olympics in 2021.
She bowed out of the Olympics Monday after winning silver in the women’s floor exercise final following multiple penalties, and after falling on the balance beam.
Speaking on how she felt ending her stint at the world's greatest competition stage, the 11-time Olympic medalist said it hasn't quite sunk in.
“I don’t think I will until one day I decide to retire. But yesterday once we got back to the village I looked at Jordan [Chiles] and just started bawling my eyes out," she said on NBC’s “TODAY” on Tuesday. “And she was like ‘I knew it was gonna happen I just didn’t know when!’”
