Gymnastics superstar Simone Biles took a cue from tennis pro Naomi Osaka by pulling out of the team final after a shock error on her first event, insisting that she needed to 'focus on her mental health' because 'there is more to life than just' sport.

Well, it's her life after all. But she put in one heckuva lot of work to get where she is and now just to walk away .... there must be something else going on.

Imagine if Tom Brady quit in the middle of the 2017 Super Bowl when they were down 24-3. No one would buy into some slop like “Well he has many rings and and lots of money and after all, football training is hard and it’s his life after all...”

You don’t quit in the middle of a competition, especially when you have teammates who have spent the last 4 years of their lives preparing for it.
