I don’t blame her for dropping out, a missed step on a vault could leave her paralyzed, as has happened to several elite gymnasts.

What I don’t like is praising that decision with joy and pride, rather than embarrassment or humility.

Well said.

I think also it probably would've helped if Biles had given up all the social media over the past several months.

Even before she dropped out, she seemed to be awfully sensitive about what people were saying about her on Instagram, Twitter, etc. Just shut it all down and ignore it -- for a few months before/during the Olympics anyway. Focus on the task at hand.
