Simone Biles thanked her fans in a tweet on Wednesday night - hours after withdrawing from the all-around
'The outpouring love & support I’ve received has made me realize I’m more than my accomplishments and gymnastics which I never truly believed before,' she wrote
Biles withdrew from the all-around and the team competition citing mental health concerns
Earlier on Wednesday she suggested that the abuse she endured at the hands of pedophile doctor Larry Nassar prompted her to withdraw
She retweeted a statement of support from former gymnast Andrea Orris which read: 'We are talking about the same girl who was molested by her team doctor throughout her entire childhood and teenage years'
