I don’t follow the Olympics so my take on this could be way off, but here’s what I think...

She pulled out of the team competition because she placed more importance on winning an individual gold and didn’t want to risk an injury in team competition.

After she did that, and everything knew why she did it, it was made clear to her that her she should take herself out the individual competition.

Either that, or this has something to do with sports betting.

There's definitely something weird going on...

The blunder that sank Britain's Olympic rowing dreams: GB men's coxless four miss gold medal for first time in DECADES after 'forgetting to steer' - then lash out at their 'really smug' predecessors, including BBC commentator James Cracknell

Sounds like the gymnastic team called a meeting and forced the issue. We’ll hear soon if that happened. Can’t keep a lid on that.

Yeah, the team (coaches) probably did force the issue.

She has not yet withdrawn from the specific individual events where she could win a personal medal.
