That’s all fine, except for the teammates who probably won’t be back for another Olympics, this was their shot at a gold because she quit they didn’t get it...

I can’t remember a time in the past when a real superstar in their sport just up and pulled out citing mental issues.

Recently we’ve had 2, Naomi Osaka and Simone Biles, it’s not all about her, it’s about the team and she screwed them out of a gold....

Yep. And it happened. She let the team down for the first time. Have you ever let the team, or anyone, down? I have. You have too. It sucks. It happens. She plays on such a big stage that the whole world saw it happen. That it happened will not define her - how she responds will define her. And all of us.

Who was the young girl gymnast that competed in the Olympics with the hurt ankle?
They wrapped it up and she gutted it out.
The US TEAM would not have won without her.
