The silver lining is that other USA gymnasts have been able to/will compete, specifically Jade Carey and Mykayla Skinner.
If she really was suffering from the twisties it was right for her to pull out. Not knowing where you are in the air while twisting and turning can mean a broken neck. However if it was just because she wasn’t at her best then she should feel ashamed.
The kid cracked under the pressure. It happens.
JERRY: I couldn’t believe it. Uh, I mean I thought I was entering a “magical world” of sensual delights, but it was just so ordinary. I mean, there was nothing gymnastic about it.
ELAINE: Well, what did you think she was gonna do?
JERRY: Well, you know. I mean... I dunno.
ELAINE: No, what?
JERRY: Well, obviously I prefer not to mention any, you know...
ELAINE: What did you think, she was going to take some of that chalk and...
JERRY: You see, now I really don’t want to get into this, any kind of specifics...
ELAINE: Oh, come on. One thing? One thing! What?
JERRY: Well... Frankly, I thought, you know, I was gonna kinda’ be like the apparatus.
KRAMER: You mean like the uneven parallel bars?
JERRY: See, again, I really don’t feel that...
ELAINE: The balance beam?
JERRY: Could we stop?
ELAINE: (gasps in mock surprise) Not the pommel horse?
JERRY: All right. Let’s just drop it.
my take on it is i just don’t believe her reason for pulling out.
She made sereral screwups and figured she would place low, and didn’t want that on her record, so she comes up with the ‘mental stress’ excuse so she can’t be blamed for doing so and keeps her official records cleaner.
she claims stress? 8 years ago she was 16 and was competing in the olympics for the first time, and doing very well. she should be becoming more seasoned and controlled.
she had a bad couple things happen and she knew itmtook her out of the top spots, so she pulled the mental health card excuse to have an asterisk as opposed to an official lower placment score on her record.
Tough love? Like what...a left jab? A right hook?
Simone quit because she is going on a tour. She wants to make money.

Giver her a break. She nay have been hit with hormones having been a child all her life.
Why would anyone (Simone) who cannot tell whether up is up and down is down compete in gymnastics of all things? That is what she says is happening to her.
People should just mind their own business rather than coming down hard on someone of whom they have no knowledge or understanding of what is going on with them. There are better ways to spend one’s time, aren’t there?
I think both you and Henry need to check your own selves
