How awful
For her[/quote]

The NY Post is hardly the most reliable source.  The NY Times and news agencies are calling it a medical issue.[/quote]

Mental issues are medical issues. I would be surprised if it’s not something mental. I feel awful for her.[/quote]

No one is disputing that mental issues are medical issues.  What is in dispute is people jumping to conclusions when nothing has been officially released. [/quote]

In the biggest upset for the United States at the Tokyo Games, Simone Biles withdrew from the gymnastics team competition after it had started on Tuesday, handing Russia’s squad a path to the gold medal and ending American domination of the event for more than a decade.

Biles, Team U.S.A.’s star, said she pulled out of the event because she wasn’t in the right place mentally to perform the difficult and often dangerous skills she is known for, after feeling so much pressure to be successful. She had been struggling with the stress of being the greatest gymnast in history, she said, and outside expectations were just too hard to combat.[/quote]
