United States gymnastics great Simone Biles shared limited news of a health scare on Saturday, an experience she said included “almost dying.” The world’s most-decorated gymnast said on Instagram Stories that she had endured an unexpected situation, and she thanked well-wishers. “I’m not one to normally share things like this because I value privacy in today’s age,” Biles, 29, said on the social media platform. “but almost dying wasn’t on my bingo card earlier this week.” The athlete did not share what happened. Representatives for Biles did not immediately respond to requests for comment late Saturday. Biles, winner of 41 Olympics and world-competition medals, posted a photo of a trio of wristbands of the type issued to patients at hospitals. She also sent love to members of her “close circle” who she said sent flowers, visited, and checked in, and she posted images of bouquets.
