She knew she didn't want to do since before this thing got rescheduled last year and still wound up doing this.
I can't even imagine the pressure she was under smh. Prolly felt like she had to do it
Simone Biles withdraws from team final competition due to mental issues
- Thread starter Standing on business
- Start date

She had plenty of time to withdraw before coming all the way to Japan to do it, was even given a whole extra year to do so.

She pulled out of the big individual. There goes that "quit on the team" narrative. So sad when coli hot takes turn to dust.

I’m not going to pass judgement on someone who became the greatest gymnast of all time despite sexual abuse, kidney stones and other countless physical ailments
She doesn’t have shyt to prove and the sooner we learn entertainers / athletes don’t owe us shyt, the better

Why we acting like 2021 is the first time in history athletes have had to try and fight through mental adversity? Remember that shyt used to be called choking when you fukked up under pressure. Now when the pressure causes you to falter we can just say "oh it was mental issues". Cot damn man, its a good thing some of these people dont play sports where the fans and opposition spend the entire game trying to fukk with your head. Essentially the entire purpose of fans in basketball is to try and fukk with the opponents head, thats why its called a home court advantage. I remember as a kid playing baseball and you would have people behind the plate talking shyt to you the entire at bat trying to fukk with you.
Going some folks logic nobody in the history of swimming has folded due to mental pressure because that means they would forget how to swim and drown right?
Simone choked, it happens. She still got her golds from previous years. shyt happens.
We live in a softer era peep how they discussed the deaths of DMX and Nip people who brought death to themselves in real time we are starting off with the sanitized version from the moment no need to wait for the angelized version it’s the here from the start

That "other person" didn't place top 5 in qualifying what makes them deserve anything?
It's true, one of the other alternates would have taken her place in a heartbeat. You can't be a symbol of empowerment and then literally just give up like a little kid when your team is literally counting on you.
Again, if she felt the passion wasn't there then she shouldn't have done it..plain and simple.

And she still decided to do it until it got to the point where she realized she couldn't do it
It's her decision
I'm glad she's not risking her health for a country that don't give a fukk about her tbh.

She knew and admitted she couldn't do it, yet still went to the Olympics and tried to do it anyways. She caved into public pressure and obligations from the people around her instead of doing what was best for her in the beginning and not going.
