I know lots of you aren’t watching. I’m watching on antenna so don’t yell at me. I grew up watching them with my grandmother and my girls were gymnasts. So when Simone Biles withdrew suddenly, my antennae pricked up. Media waffled on reason and she was not sobbing. She calmly disappeared and came back. That is not the demeanor of a great gymnastic chasing her dreams!
Remember when a young tennis player cited mental health and withdrew from French Open(?) And the Japanese tennis player lost early today? The US basketball team lost early?
So much weirdness in sports as of late! Methinks there is a plan to address the sports corruption and coaches abusing the athletes.
But that was IGF who did that and she's known for some time. They first screwed her over that way on a new skill a couple years ago. So damaging the US team's chance at gold wouldn't have been the way to protest that.
I wonder if it had to do with USAG response to the Nasser scandal, which she has spoken out against
Yea I just saw the replay and it seems like something was up, and not what my wife was thinking. Deleted my post to not spread bad info. Thanks for your input.
I think something is afoot with that. Aly Raisman has been really, really quiet after being so vocal.
Agree, just saw it. I retract my previous post. Something definitely seems like it's up.
One of the previous gymnasts (Laurie Hernandez?) spoke about how the floor and ceiling both being white could be causing Simone issues because she does so many flips and twists. She said that before today, to explain previous issues.
I just think something is up. Everything is off and weird this Olympics and it is not just Covid.
