"I just wanted to go out there for me and that's what I did," Biles told reporters

Uh huh.

Maybe she saw her teammates winning gold and silver and suddenly had a mental breakthrough.

(Attention whore much......)

A bit more balance and she would have had gold. ( and much more)

I’m not mentally well enough to compete with my team mates, but I’m mentally well enough to compete by myself.

I think a great many people feel differently about Simone after this little caper. If she was that messed up mentally, emotionally, why not jump on the next flight home and have Mommy put her to bed?

Instead, she sees her ‘back-up’ Olympians winning without her, even winning Gold, then she got that other kind of fever again, the drive to win and be praised. I’m glad she had to ‘settle for’ Bronze.

That photo is no big deal.

I’ve done that several times just going down the stairs.

What does that even mean, that she wanted to go out there for her, and not her team? I don’t understand.

Simone Biles denied Suni Lee (USA) and Ellie Black (Canada) the bronze.

Simone did not help the USA medal count.

Two Communist Chinese girls received the gold and silver.

Why wasn’t she sent home after declaring herself mentally unfit to compete? Poor kid needs help and the USOC did nothing to help her situation.
