I can't believe some of the garbage being spouted about Simone Biles and her decision to withdraw from the Team competition. She made it clear she did it to help her team and because she had other issues. Gymnastics is just ONE part of her life.
If some of the nitwits criticizing her actually watched gymnastics maybe it would dawn on them that what she does is dangerous and requires total focus and concentration. The uneven parallel bars , the balance beam , the vault are all dangerous. One of my exes was a sponsored competitive gymnast and she was badly injured in a fall. If Ms. Biles felt that her ability to focus and concentrate was affected then she made the right call imho.
Btw, she stayed and cheered on her teammates. She didn't just curl up in a ball and hide.
