Simone Biles undergoes a medical procedure after a health emergency earlier this year, multiple outlets report. The Olympian had described the incident—reported as occurring in June—as “the scariest experience of my life” and said she was close to death (“almost dying”). Following the emergency, she later shares health updates with the public, and she is now back in the hospital for the procedure, according to reports from New York Post and Yahoo Sports, with additional coverage from The Independent.
The Independent and Yahoo Sports both describe Biles as posting or providing updates from a hospital setting and indicate she undergoes a procedure roughly a month after the initial emergency, while New York Post reports she returns to the hospital about a month later and also references a timeline closer to two months after the June event. Across sources, the common points are that Biles experienced a serious, unexplained medical incident in June, characterized it as extremely frightening, and is receiving further medical care in the hospital now. The reports do not consistently specify the type of procedure or the full medical details.
