You need to do some reading on the sport and the situation.

This has nothing to do with “will.” Christ, she has been in a couple of Olympics already.

I once photographed a women’s national basketball championship for Division 3. As the game was coming down to the last few minutes, one of the fans yelled, “You gotta want it!”

I looked at the other shooter on the floor and said, “The girls are in the final minutes of the national championship. Clearly....they lack ‘drive’.”

Your comments purport the same type of ignorance about the sport and exactly what high level competition is like for these people.

Would you put someone with vertigo behind the wheel of an Indy 500 race car? Yeah...you probably would.

She quit, she’s 24 years old, she’s grown woman, not a child...

I can give you any number of examples of someone going beyond the expected and doing whatever is necessary to help the team..

Jack Youngblood played the Super Bowl with a Broken leg.

Keri Strug completed her final vault with a several sprained ankle.

Michael Jordan played a clinching game in the NBA finals with a severe illness..

Philip Rivers played nearly an entire game with a torn ACL....

I can keep going, she quit on herself and her teammates...
