No, if you say it you're just showing us how ignorant you are. If you don't know anything about the sport, or competition in general, you should probably just read and not post...you might actually learn something, |
Does the Olympic team not have a sports psychologist? If she had dropped out earlier she would have given someone new an opportunity to maybe even be in the Olympic team This could not have been a surprise to people close to her. There was plenty of time |
If you remember, she competed in the preliminaries and warmed up before the team event. That's when the "twisties" showed up. So, she had already competed and posted scores for the team finals. Therefore, they couldn't get a replacement. The 3 other team members had to compete without throwing out the lowest score. She pulled out of the individual finals and another American got to compete. Also, she pulled out of 3 of the 4 individual events so replacements were able to compete (some from other countries) |

The story of Simone Biles' 2021 olympics will probably go away in a few weeks. She'll still have endorsements but you won't see her as much only because the Olympics are over and she will probably retire.
There are facts in the story that cannot be refuted. She had an issue (physical and/or mental) that impacted her ability to do her routines (mostly twists) and that made it nearly impossible for her to compete. Most of us will never know what that's like so no need to comment or flame her for that. - Those who like her will back her up - Those who understand the physical and mental issues that she is going through will back her up - Those that have never competed won't understand and their support depends entirely on whether or not they like Simone It is what it is. The olympics will be over soon and we'll all move on to something else to argue about. |
If Biles would have dropped out of the team event in time, who would have replaced her and earned a silver medal? |
If she had won five gold medals the story would essentially be over after the Olympics. That’s how these things work. She did the best she could do and that’s that. She’s a phenomenal athlete and the best gymnast we’ve ever seen. Someday, someone better will come along and that person will be the new goat. Again that show this works. |
Jade Carey or McKayla Skinner most likely. |
Well put. So many couch potato losers pissing on Simone Biles. They will never understand what it takes to be an athlete at her level and the sacrifices it requires. |
Neither one of them could've been subbed in after the preliminary round. |
Neither of them could have “subbed in” at any time. They had their own spots. Had she withdrawn before any competition started in Toyko, the replacement would have come from the 4 replacement athletes (which quickly became 2 with Covid protocols). |
| "Goats" don't win bronze. This gal is a media creation. And her time in the spotlight is over. Washed up and thought she could come in and coast to golds. |
Yep, all those medals were a media creation. "Gal?" And you're calling her washed up? |
she has 30+ Olympic and world championship medals. But sure keep saying that she’s a “media creation” |
|
The people repeatedly coming her to tear her down, call her washed up and a diva have some serious issues. I would never be friends with someone like this in real life. I don't like Tom Brady at all but can't imagine going back again and again to a board to dis him. It's pathological.
If you don't like her, move on with your life. If you get off on this, which clearly some of you do based on your snarky posts, you are showing how pathetic your lives are. Pitiful. |
Heh, what have you accomplished? |
