Olympic superstars praise Simone Biles: "I feel like she has lightened the load for everyone"

The two-time Olympic medallist in artistic swimming competed at the Tokyo 2020 games in 2021 just a year after her first son Kai was born. Now, about to give birth to her second child, the Spaniard tells Olympics.com reporter Lorena Encabo about the challenges she has faced as a mother and an elite athlete. Breastfeeding and the mental approach have been the hardest things, Carbonell shares, but also reveals that being a mother has made her "less obsessed" in training, and keen to inspire others: "This has been the most wonderful thing of my life in every sense and I’m very glad that I’m able to help." Watch for more from the three-time Olympian and 2009 synchro world champion, who is the subject of a new documentary and is now a role-model in the fight for equality and facilities for women to return to work.

London 2012 bronze and silver medallist Carbonell shares that their coach, Atlanta 1996 synchronized swimming medallist Mayuko Fujiki, taught them sign language in Japanese to help make the routine inclusive: “It’s very nice to use the sport as a way of allowing people to get to know this language,” she shares with us, as the Spain team reveal part of the routine exclusively to Olympics.com and the Tokyo2020 website.
