Agree. Seems everyone is saying it’s mental.Something about this doesn't feel quite right. I rarely root for an injury but in this case I hope it's that simple. Seemes like a good kid, hope she rests up and gets back to her old form.
Wow, too bad. Probably cracked under pressure with a mental breakdown. She should have been receiving Mental Health help sessions prior to this.
Seems to be the prevalent thought. Unfortunate.Agree. Seems everyone is saying it’s mental.
Huh?She's one of the greatest athletes to ever live
In her sport for sure, outside of gymnastics not a fuking chance.Huh?
Ask any person who knows gymnastics and they'll say she's the best they've ever seen. She has done multiple things on different events never been done before. When you are the best (most athletic) female gymnast of all time, you're one of the greatest athletes ever.Huh?
I'm not necessarily saying most accomplished, but on pure athletic ability its disgusting how far and above everyone else she is.In her sport for sure, outside of gymnastics not a fuking chance.
Is she a communist?
Lol.She, along with the rest of the team, didn't march in the opening ceremonies...her coach said something about how our country gets hosed because of the alphabetical order thang and they have to be on their feet to much so.....yeah, probably. Pretty sure anyway.
Why does the USA have so many Communists performing in the Olympics that Hate Freedom and the USA? Scary.Is she a communist?
Part of being a great athlete is the mental component. If you fold under pressure to the point that you have to quit the event, that’s a huge dent in GOAT status.Ask any person who knows gymnastics and they'll say she's the best they've ever seen.

All I have seen said she bailed for mental reasons. She quit. There should be no sugar coating it.Any confirmation on the actual injury? If she bailed then would like to know for sure. If not and she is truly injured then she should have that respected.
It's not an assumption. Read some articles. Even during the broadcast itself the commentator said something along the lines of "we have received word that it is not an injury but a 'mental health issue'."Curious, why the assumption from several here that this was mental and not physical?
In this case, I think it's the opposite. She's an older athlete in gymnastics. She has been elite her whole career when she was younger and had no fear. When you get older, that changes, doubt creeps in if she can still do it or not at her age.Kind of interesting to see it unfold. Younger athletes with tremendous skill seem to lack a degree of mental toughness and ability to combat adversity. Maybe if you have unlimited praise and validation from millions of fan girls, you decide that only good vibes need apply.
Oh she's doing it. She's asserting too much power in her routines now.. But, it's definitely between the ears. Just you, in front of the world. No one else to blame.In this case, I think it's the opposite. She's an older athlete in gymnastics. She has been elite her whole career when she was younger and had no fear.

Yeah, my bad. I hadn't heard any of that when I posted.It's not an assumption. Read some articles. Even during the broadcast itself the commentator said something along the lines of "we have received word that it is not an injury but a 'mental health issue'."
How many gold medals have you won for the United States by the age of 24? Please explain how she hates freedom and the USA?Why does the USA have so many Communists performing in the Olympics that Hate Freedom and the USA? Scary.
That’s sad. She’s been shown as a role model and this isn’t the correct modeling. Will want to hear more but not a good look for her.All I have seen said she bailed for mental reasons. She quit. There should be no sugar coating it.
Not sure how much more we will hear. She has said and it has been reported that it isn't physical. It is clearly a mental thing.That’s sad. She’s been shown as a role model and this isn’t the correct modeling. Will want to hear more but not a good look for her.
Precisely.Tom Brady at the super bowl: sorry guys, don’t have it today. Good luck out there! I’ll be cheering you on!
I’m guessing he wouldn’t be met with the same reception Biles is….

That doesn't mean that she just "quit". Unfortunately too many people look at mental health as a weakness and not just an illness like anything else.
For her own health, I hope she gets the help she needs.
