[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I just wish she'd made her decision two hours earlier.  Then an alternate, who has also been working her whole life for a chance at the Olympics, could have had a chance to compete.  There are several fabulous US alternates who will never get to make an Olympic appearance because of the deep US bench, when they could easily lead a team if they were competing for any other country.

It is Biles' right to sit out, but she should have made the call sooner.[/quote]
 
She should have known that her body would do 1.5  when she told it to do 2.5 2 hours before it happened?[/quote]
No, she has said she felt mentally unwell for days or weeks before.  All of the talk about the twisties and issues with the 1.5 are speculation by posters.  I don't think pulling out suddenly dawned on her after the 1.5--she was too composed for that to be true.  She'd clearly been thinking about it as an option coming into the competition.  [/quote]

Simone herself mentioned the twisties, so I'm not sure why you are saying it's speculation.[/quote]

Has any gymnasts ever pulled out of Olympics because of the “twisties?” [/quote]

Jacoby Miles Posted this week that the trusties are why she is in a wheelchair.[/quote]

It happens mid air.  It isn’t something you can anticipate and you don’t drop out of whole competitions.  It doesn’t work that way.  [/quote]

Yea and then you break your neck and end up in a wheelchair [/quote]
