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.
I was telling my husband that gymnasts hated wearing tight Leo’s and getting the wedgies. They cannot touch their Leo until the routine is done. The divers, the beach volleyball, and probably others I don’t know. Germany’s rhythmic gymnastics team did long pant unitards and they were beautiful.
