Update the thread. She also withdrew from the individual all-around about an hour ago. She will decide in a few days if she will compete in the other individuals.

If those med withdrawals are true, we owe her an apology.

Nah. She was touch and go for these Olympics. She's only going to be older and less conditioned next time around.

I think this is right.

Didn’t know until 2 days ago that she deals with ADHD.

Ehhh the medication thing still doesn’t make or change the fact of how she openly admitted that she wanted no part of the Olympics prior to them happening. I still say that she shouldn’t have went if her heart wasn’t into participating as she had nothing else to prove by going.

People gotta stop doing shyt they don’t want to do because of obligations for everyone else around them. That goes for Osaka as well who obviously didn’t go herself.

This shyt is going to help Trump win again. Its getting annoying right now. Perform or not. This is all you do.

And its that COVID delay thats making shyt look awkward.

Being mentally off in basketball means going 0/11. Being mentally off in gymnastics means broken bones. Simone made the right decision.

Bozos who can't even do a cartwheel straight don't seem to understand this.
