Simone Biles, the GOAT is still a shocker. When I played competitive sports, quitting wasn't in my mind or an option.

BIles was also mollested by Larry Nassar a few years ago. Maybe that trauma had something to do with it? Have you been mollested? Do you know what thats like?
its funny to see people on this site talk about how they would never quit and they are so tough lol....but theyre the same people whining about a log flume being rethemed....

Those two things are not mutually exclusive.
Look, I get she was under pressure. All the top athletes are. Her accomplishments up to this point are fantastic…no argument. However, the great athletes overcome tremendous stress to both the body and the mind. That’s why they are great.
Those arent even the same thing and lets not make this a sh*tshow where it gets locked or deleted. Thanks.
When golfers get the yips, they just keep trodding along and endure the embarrassment of bad score.
When gymnasts get the yips, they can seriously injure themselves and possibly never compete again. She made the right call. Her teammates support her.

She did on the world's biggest stage. Wonder if GOAT Tom Brady decided to tell coach in the middle of the Super Bowl he wanted out due to personal issues, how would that go over?

If he simply walked off in the middle of the game, short of a full Joe Theisman, yes.
If you go along with superstars like Brady if he walked off the field for his own reasons in the middle of the Super Bowl it is not something all would support including me even though I dislike him with a passion but he's still the GOAT.

Despite Biles walking away during the team competition the rest of the ladies pulled together for Silver. Hat's off to the ladies for carrying on and completing the team competition. Now there will be individual events coming up and the ladies can individually shine. They are all gold medal contenders in their own right.
I'm a fan of Sunisa Lee! I hope she crushes the others in the individual events.
I guess we can put to rest the rumor of the Nassar thing still bugging her is why she quit
Mexican Olympians seethe at discovery of softball uniforms in trash
Olympians representing Mexico see the act as an affront to the national identity, but the country's softball federation president said it's simply a case of having too much cargo to take back.
Wow, just wow
She wins gold! Go Suni!

They've been the exclusive rights holder for the Olympics since 2000. Their current deal runs through the 2032 games.
More importantly, why doesnt the Olympic Channel show past games in non-Olympics years? That would be fun to go back and watch something from 2002 or 2004.
