I saw Simone talking about it. Definitely a story there we aren't hearing, yet. Something happened to place such a burden of stress or anger or both on her.

Or else the vax is screwing with athletes' minds.

Edit: the whole culture of elite gymnastics and the policies of USAG are very screwed up. To have the team chosen subjectively by committee rather than purely based on merit is so wrong. I believe that is the basis for keeping gymnasts quiet about abuse and other mistreatment. How could a young gymnast ever think she'd be able to rock the boat by speaking up, and still have a chance to make the team?

Also, the whole thing about the required competition uniform being a skimpy leotard their butts hang out of, and saying it's for safety reasons, is also total bullshit. All you have to do is look at what the men wear to know a little extra fabric would be fine. The girls have to wear skimpy costumes because decades ago some pervert decided that's how it should be.
