[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Since most people don’t understand how the process works at all, here you go:

Once prelims are done, the team can’t change. We have 4 gymnasts for a reason. That leaves one spare for each event. Simone didn’t lost spatial awareness until after prelims. At that point, they were locked into those 4 already. She tried to push through, but became a danger to herself and she had to pull out. If she hadn’t, she probably would have injured herself AND the US wouldn’t have won any medal. If she broke her ankle after prelims, the situation would have been the same. No alternate could have subbed in. [/quote]

+1.  I get the sense a lot of these posters are pretty clueless about how the process works anyway, but why they were insisting that Simone should have known earlier she wasn’t right simply to give another athlete an opportunity to compete is a bit  :?:  :?: .  You can decide whether to take Simone’s word on it or not I guess but from her description the train didn’t go completely off the rails until after prelims.[/quote]
