I see both sides. I see the Isaiah Thomas 42-points-on-a-sprained-ankle/Keri Strug vault-with-a-fracture side, and I understand that if you aren’t in a perfect mental position in this sport you could end up paralyzed. Don’t know where I come down.
I built a building once decades ago for a top ranked gymnast to use as a training school. Those people are all wound pretty tight. Anxiety related depression can be a killer. I give her all the credit for a decade of being a top gymnast in world competition and being someone that appears very considerate in her public conduct.
Her supposed “wokeness” I attribute more to publicists trying to position her on the Wheaties Box.
