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.

I can't even imagine the pressure she was under smh. Prolly felt like she had to do it
That's all I'm saying :hubie:

I think it's disingenuous as the people who are now defending and supporting her wanted her to go in the first place even when her heart wasn't into doing so. If they actually truly gave a damn about her instead of the glory from her wining and supporting her country, then they would have told her to stay at home and focus on her mental health like she alluded to from the beginning.

They didn't do that though because they wanted her to compete and bring home the gold, which how situations like this transpire.

And she still decided to do it until it got to the point where she realized she couldn't do it :yeshrug:

It's her decision :yeshrug:

I'm glad she's not risking her health for a country that don't give a fukk about her tbh.

A lot of juelzing and cop out answer. It's an embarrassment at this level is all I am saying. Stay home if you can't handle the heat.

Russians are laughing at her, that should be motivation enough to not give up....

This whole thing very disappointing but I want to give Simone the benefit of the doubt. Just sad she did all this press, basically the face of the Olympics and now either lost passion or confidence or both right at game time. And its not like that doesn't effect her teammates. It has to. And they seemed to not know she wasn't ready or did they know?

Everyone knew, but overlooked or didn’t care about the situation. Her comments were open knowledge before the Olympics even happened.

As far as I know Simone Biles never made any big political statements, never said anything bad about the country yet judging by conservatives’ reactions you’d think she pissed and shytted on the flag. They don’t like the fact that a Black woman is the GOAT in a predominately white sport and are using this as their opportunity to unleash some pent up frustration. Some sucker shyt and any Black person joining in needs to wake the fukk up and realize what all that “criticism” is really about
