heywoodu 13,903 Posted July 28, 2021 #271 Share Posted July 28, 2021 11 minutes ago, dcro said: She blames the (media) pressure, but how is that new for her? The only thing that's new is the fact that this time she is required to perform at her absolute best and fight for titles, instead of just walking out and collecting golds. It doesn't have to be new to 'hit' hard and/or reach a breaking point at some point. If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!

rafalgorka 1,467 Posted July 28, 2021 #272 Share Posted July 28, 2021 The big thing would be when MyKayla Skinner already announced retirement, and if US coaches would decide Carey should concentrate on ind events, maybe Skinner would be back in AA...

IoNuTzZ 303 Posted July 28, 2021 #273 Share Posted July 28, 2021 Iordache is on the beam again. She will take part in the beam final. Doctor says 3 days pause for recovering her ankle but she began training earlier. With Biles out of the game right now, Iordache has a better chance to win a medal. rafalgorka 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mkbw50 387 Posted July 28, 2021 #274 Share Posted July 28, 2021 A lot of self-appointed experts on mental health criticising Biles (and for that matter Naomi Osaka) over these games. I wonder what about them annoys people so? thiago_simoes 1 As now we come across the world To share these Games of old Let all the flags of every land In brotherhood unfold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder what about them annoys people so? Because there are a ton of other sport stars who go out there and compete instead of bailing out under a 'mental health' reason. Osaka will be asked the same questions about clay & grass next season IF she bothers to show up at Roland Garros and Wimbledon. Her sister revealed the truth on reddit so it's obvious it's just a hoax. People are easily annoyed when they are being lied to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vektor 3,199 Posted July 28, 2021 #278 Share Posted July 28, 2021 This isn't comparable to Osaka. Biles can very seriously injure herself if she can't trust her body, artistic gymnastics is a dangerous sport. thiago_simoes 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan Linha 586 Posted July 28, 2021 #279 Share Posted July 28, 2021 I know it's sounds like bullshit, but my wife just told me that chinese media has reported that some "unnamed" foreign media has reported that Simone Biles has withdrawn due to the pregnancy. ???? dcro 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If she had pulled out before appearing at the games then that could make sense - but pulling out mid team final because of that feels very unlikely.
