Paris 2024 Olympics: Overcoming Mental Health Challenges on Day Two

07/29/2024
in News

Paris — The second day of the Paris 2024 Olympics highlighted the inspiring stories of athletes overcoming mental health challenges, showcasing that seeking help can lead to success rather than hinder careers.

Among the day’s highlights was the emotional triumph of Adam Peaty, who, hours after Kimberley Woods secured a bronze in kayaking, celebrated a silver medal in the 100m breaststroke with tears of joy and a poolside embrace with his son, George.

“As soon as I see his curly hair, I’m like, I’m gone, I’m crying,” Peaty said. “Any parent or anyone that has that love, it’s just a different type of love, something that swimming can’t give me anymore. And I don’t want it to give me anymore.”

Peaty’s journey to Paris was particularly challenging. After stepping away from swimming last year to address mental health issues and alcohol abuse, simply competing in Paris was a significant achievement for the 29-year-old.

“It doesn’t matter what the time says on the board, I know that in my heart I’ve already won,” he said. “I’m not crying because I’ve come second, I’m crying because it took so much to get here.”

Woods’ Journey Through Therapy

For Kimberley Woods, reaching the Olympics was a testament to her resilience and willingness to seek help. After a serious knee injury during university left her feeling isolated and unable to train, Woods found support from British Canoeing coach Craig Morris and sought therapy to address her struggles.

“I think it’s a massive part of my journey and I’m glad I did it,” Woods said after winning the kayaking bronze. “The journey I’ve been on, that first moment of admitting that I do need help, that’s where I go back to.”

In her moment of triumph, the 28-year-old emphasized the importance of seeking help: “Just seek help if you need it. Don’t be afraid to go to people and get the skills to be able to learn with tough times.”

Biles: Prioritizing Mindset Over Medals

Simone Biles’ return to Olympic competition also underscored the significance of mental health. After prioritizing her mental wellbeing and withdrawing from events at the Tokyo Olympics, Biles spent two years away from competition and made therapy a regular part of her routine.

Now 27, Biles dazzled and dominated on the Olympic stage once again, proving that protecting mental health is as crucial as perfecting athletic routines. Her performance attracted celebrities and admiration from fellow athletes, including GB gymnast Ruby Evans, who remarked, “We’ve never had anyone like her before and I don’t think we ever will, ever again.”

The stories of Peaty, Woods, and Biles on day two of the Paris 2024 Olympics serve as powerful reminders that mental health challenges can be overcome, and seeking help can lead to remarkable achievements.
