[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Every once in awhile there comes a young gymnast who does not make many mistakes. They are lauded.

But usually, the top gymnasts do make a few bobbles in a high level competition. This is normal.

Biles was a gymnast that last Olympics did not make many of those normal bobbles. Whatever happened recently, she quit 5% in to her 2nd Olympics.

Oh well. There could be many reasons for that. That's too bad she didn't retire several months ago. Or create routines she was more confident about. Or brush off the "be perfect all the time" BS.

Just do your best, as all the athletes who did perform this week, did. Well prepared, trained, ready. Just do your best and everything will be OK. Look at Ledecky getting 5th in a race with 2 people crossing olympic records: "That was a tough race!" And it was. THen she went and swam and won her 1500m.[/quote]

You can get injured swimming but you won't fall on your head and perhaps be paralyzed for the rest of your life due to a mistake.  Totally different.  And it has happened when pressured to continue competing, https://www.nytimes.com/2021/07/28/sports/olympics/biles-gymnastics-injuries.html.[/quote]
