Support for Simone Biles after she pulled out of the team and individual all-around competitions at the Tokyo Olympics has come from everywhere — from fans, former teammates, big names like Michael Phelps and more.
It’s also coming from someone who has never met her, but he posted about Biles on Instagram anyway: Justin Bieber.
The singer sent a heartfelt message of support to the gymnast, acknowledging that while they don’t know each other, he wanted to express how proud he was and how he could relate.
“I know we don’t know each other but I’m so proud of the decision to withdraw,” he wrote. “It’s as simple as
– what does it mean to gain the whole world but forfeit your soul.
Sometimes our no’s are more powerful than our yes’s. When what you normally love starts to steal your joy it’s important we take a step back to evaluate why.”
