George Publication: La Weekly 12/25/23 –––––––––––––––––––––––– Gymnastics star Simone Biles named AP Female Athlete of the Year a third time after dazzling return Simone Biles competing on the floor during the apparatus finals at the Artistic Gymnastics World Championships. AP Photo/Geert vanden Wijngaert By Will Graves AP Writer (AP) — There were jitters, of course. Considering all that hap- pened, how could there not be? When Simone Biles walked onto the floor at a suburban Chicago arena in late July for her first gym- nastics competition in two years, she knew plenty of people were wondering how it was going to go. “I thought that too, don’t worry,” Biles said with a laugh. By the end of one rotation, the most decorated gymnast of all time realized she was back in her safe space. By the end of August, she was a national champion. Again. By October, she was a world champion. Again. And by December, she was The Associated Press’ Female Athlete of the Year. Yes, again. Her triumphant return that in- cluded her record eighth U.S. national championship and a sixth world all-around gold made Biles the sixth woman to claim the AP honor for a third time. The 26- year-old seven-time Olympic medalist was followed by Iowa basketball star Caitlin Clark and Ballon d’Or winner Aitana Bonmati of the World Cup cham- pion Spanish soccer team in vot- ing by a panel of sports media professionals. And to think, she wasn’t really sure what awaited her on that summer night in front of a packed arena that supported her at every turn, a response she says she did- n’t anticipate. Hard to blame her. The last time Biles had saluted the judges, she was earning a bronze medal on the balance beam at the end of the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, the end of a tumultuous two weeks where her decision to pull out of multiple finals due to “ the twisties ” (think mid-air verti- go) dragged the sometimes uncom- fortable conversation about ath- letes and their mental health into the white-hot spotlight only the Games provide. Though she drew near-universal acclaim for her courage to put her safety first, a quick check of her mentions on social media showed not everyone agreed. She took a two-year hiatus in the aftermath, going into what she called a “protective shell.” She dove deeper into therapy while eyeing a return on her terms. Still, that didn’t stop self-doubt from creeping in. Only this time, instead of letting the anxiety gnaw at her confidence, she accepted its presence, took a deep breath, and put on the kind of show that is hers and hers alone. “I did a lot better than I thought I would do,” Biles said. Same as it ever was. Biles previously won the AP honor in 2016 and 2019, times in her life she now barely recognizes. She was still a teenager follow- ing her star-making performance at the Rio de Janeiro Olympics. Still living at home with her parents. Her world still revolved around the spaceship of a gym her family built in the Houston suburbs. Thinking about it, she can’t help but shake her head a little bit. Biles remembers thinking she only had time to practice and — if she was lucky — get her nails done. It’s not that way anymore. She’s made it a point to make sure that the sport she’s redefined no longer defines her. Biles married Green Bay Packers safety Jonathan Owens in the spring. Her time is split between getting to Packers games when her schedule allows, working with her corporate partners and poring over the details of the house she and her husband are building. Part of her evolution is organic. Part of it is intentional. For too long, she let herself get too caught up in the outcome of every turn, every flip, every twist, every prac- tice in a discipline where perfec- tion is literally unattainable. “Whenever I was 19, it was the end of the world if I had bad days,” she said. “Now I’m like, ’It’s OK, it’s just gymnastics and I’ll come back tomorrow and we’ll get it started again.’” Biles isn’t kidding when says she’s trying to take more of a “one day at a time” approach, not easy for someone who admits she has a habit of “best case/worst case-ing” every little thing. She didn’t really get serious about returning until late spring when coach Cecile Landi suggested over margaritas that maybe it was time to give the world a peek at what Biles had been working on. Her response was somewhere along the lines of “sure, OK” even though there was a part of her that felt she might not ever be ready. “I didn’t know what I was expect- ing,” said Biles, who credited the people she has surrounded herself with for believing in her when she was still grappling with her belief in herself. “People were like, ‘No, we’ve seen you in training, this is what was supposed to happen.’” And what was supposed to happen quickly became what has almost always happened since Biles began taking the norms of her sport and bending them to her will. It wasn’t just that she won but how she did it. Her intricate and gravity-defying tumbling has become more precise. A full decade into her elite career, her routines for all four events are still packed with remarkable difficulty. Nowhere is that difficulty more apparent than on vault, where she became the first woman to per- form a Yurchenko double-pike in international competition. The move — a breathtaking combina- tion of power and more than a lit- tle guts — is now the fifth ele- ment to carry her name in the sport’s code of points. She doesn’t have to do it to win. She does it anyway, because, as she put it a few years ago, she can. Barring injury or the unfore- seen, a third trip to the Olympics awaits next summer. She knows this. She’d just prefer not to talk about it. She only begrudgingly uses the words “Paris” or “Olympics” in interviews, a very conscious choice. It’s telling of where Biles is in her life that she recently shared an Instagram story in which followers were asked to post their best moment of 2023. The picture she chose wasn’t taken from a routine or a medal podium but she and Owens dancing at their wedding reception, the picture of a life find- ing its balance. “At the end of the day I did worlds and all that stuff, but I did get married, I got to support him,” she said. “It’s just like, it’s kind of nice that gymnastics isn’t the main revolving piece.”◊ Landry says Medicaid work requirements, copayments are under consideration By Julie O’Donoghue Contributing Writer (lailluminator.com ) — Gov.- elect Jeff Landry is considering work requirements and copay- ments for enrollees in Louisiana’s Medicaid program. The proposals tend to be popular with Republicans but controversial in the health care sector. “We are working to take people from dependence to independence,” Landry said during a press confer- ence Wednesday at the University of Louisiana at Monroe, when asked about possible work requirements and co-payments. “The more freedom you give a person, the more opportunity you give them to work, the more they are able to implore their labor, the more rewarding that individual is,” he said. “Quite frankly, it’s why you see elderly people who contin- ue to work way past their 70s and into their 80s.” “So I would tell you we are going to have everything on the table,” he said. Medicaid work requirements typ- ically compel able-bodied adults to have a job, volunteer or enroll in school in exchange for coverage. Copayments are a form of costing- sharing for health care plans. Under such a proposal, Medicaid recipients would be responsible for paying a portion of their health care bill. dur- ing medical visits. Democrats and public health advocates have questioned whether Medicaid work requirements really achieve their stated purpose of encouraging people to get jobs. Most Medicaid recipients in Louisiana are children. Thousands of others have disabilities that make it impossible to hold a job. Low-income people enrolled in Medicaid are often already employed; they just don’t earn enough money to be able to afford private insurance. “Certainly, I would hope that is not the plan because we know that work requirements don’t work,” said Jan Moller, head of the Louisiana Budget Project, a left- leaning organization that advo- cates for low-income people. “It puts another hurdle in front of peo- ple who simply want to go to see a doctor when they are sick.” At the behest of Republican state lawmakers, Louisiana briefly looked at implementing work requirements for Medicaid in 2018 but quickly abandoned the propos- al when it appeared a work man- date might cost the state more money than it saved. At the time, state health officials said the edict would require them to build out an entirely new bureaucracy. Louisiana would then have to hire more state work- ers and invest in new technology to track whether Medicaid recipi- ents were complying with the proposed work demands. Republican and Democratic state legislators also grew con- cerned the work requirement would create an additional barrier to enrollment and inadvertently kick people out of Medicaid who should still be eligible. When Arkansas briefly installed work requirements in 2018, thou- sands of people were dropped from Medicaid, in part because they did- n’t fill out paperwork properly. Eventually, a federal judge direct- ed Arkansas to throw out its work mandate altogether. “Data from Arkansas suggests that these requirements were con- fusing to enrollees and result in substantial coverage loss, including among eligible individuals,” wrote Madeline Guth and MaryBeth Musumeci for KFF, a health care policy think tank, in 2022. In Georgia, Republican Gov. Brian Kemp has also struggled to get a Medicaid program tied to work off the ground this year. Only 1,300 people have signed up for coverage after three months, even though the Kemp administration had projected enrollment would reach as high as 100,000, accord- ing to the Associated Press. Copayments for Medicaid enrollees also tend to see tremen- dous pushback from hospitals and other medical providers. People on Medicaid are, by defi- nition, low-income or living with a disability. They often can’t afford to cover a portion of their bill out of pocket. Hospital and doctors often lose out on money when Medicaid patients are asked to pay for part of their services, health care providers have said. “We’ve always been against co- payments,” said Randy Morris, chairman of Louisiana’s Rural Hospital Coalition and owner of West Carroll Health Systems. Landry takes over from Democratic Gov. John Bel Edwards Jan. 8.◊
