Today's USA TODAY Women of the Year honoree is Simone Biles, the most decorated and accomplished gymnast of all time who soared to acclaim not just because of her physical strength and athleticism. When she withdrew from some events during the Tokyo Olympics because of mental health struggles, she faced ridicule and judgment from those who haven't walked in her shoes. "Honestly, last year was a crazy year. But I think pushing mental health to the forefront was a huge thing. I honestly didn't realize in that moment the impact that it would have. A couple months later, I have acknowledged everything that has happened. But it still blows my mind to know that it wasn't spoken about before as much as it is now, and we're not open about it and people don't perceive it the same way as an injury. So I'm happy that we had that conversation and we can now talk about it."  #usatodaywomenoftheyear #womenoftheyear #womenshistorymonth
