And a traitor to her teammates.
Yep she quit on her teammates in this it’s all about me culture we live, screw the team is her attitude
I thought an olympic gold was good for your “mental well being”
I dont’ know what’s going on here... but maybe her teammates are a bunch of spoiled rotten woke POSs and she walked?
Mental Health = SJW
I’ve never met a SJW who wasn’t out of their mind nuts.
Huge difference between pulling out last minute from an individual competition, and doing the same from a team competition. I imagine she won’t get much blowback from this because, well...you know. But she probably should.
Gee, she was “Mentally fit” two weeks ago when she qualified to be in the Olympics..she was happy as a clam then..she is a total fraud..and I used to have respect for her..she straight up quit, cause she knew she couldn’t win so she decided to take the quitting way out..you can bet she will be “Mentally fit” when the singles competition comes around, all of a sudden she will be cured of her mental boo boos
The middle of a team event at the Olympics is the best time to be a selfish narcissist and ensure the focus will remain her.
Eddie "The Eagle" never quit.
Black fragility.
in an NBC puff-piece interview July 26, she mentioned how hard it has become to keep up the constant training, deal with the constant injuries, and how her body has less energy compared to the olympics 5 years ago.
I found it surprisingly downbeat for NBC coverage and no one commented on it.
It clearly showed her true mindset though.
“Greatest of all time? Nope.
And a traitor to her teammates.”
Disgraceful. ‘
Hopefully she loses every endorsement deal.
Quitter. AND loser.
...’there’s more to life than just gymnastics’ ...”
Said NO Olympic competitor, EVER!
I believe there’s a serious mental health crisis on the horizon, especially for younger folks. I’m sure being a high-profile, elite athlete puts a lot more stress on a person, but it seems like most younger folks just can’t handle life.
And I completely blame social media. All the “bad stuff” about life is right there, every day, bombarding folks constantly. There’s no down time, at all.
Wow, epic ghosting.
This Olympics are a joke.
We’re a long way from Mark Spitz and Bruce Jenner. And that guy who won the marathon about 30 years ago.
I guess the day of the Kerri Strug’s are gone where the team was everything.
Yeah, the GOAT symbol on her uniform was a bit early. Sure, there is pressure when one is called the Greatest of All Time, but you didn’t see Tom Brady quit in the first quarter of the Super Bowl earlier this year because of his mental health.
Not a lot of mental toughness there
The greatest of all time has to be Soviet gymnast Larisa Latynina. She participated in 3 Olympiads (1956, 1960, 1964) and won 18 total medals (14 individual and 4 team). That’s greatness regardless of what nation you represent.
I actually respect her comment. Bad timing for her team but her mind just had an epiphany. A healthy one.
