Notice how he is saluting instead of kneeling or raising a fist....
well good thing she comes from such a good family...
I’ll assume you’re joking here.Soft.
Not really.I’ll assume you’re joking here.
I recommend a HBO documentary “Weight of Gold” to get a glimpse of what some of these athletes deal with.
Biles is the face of the U.S. Olympic team. She’s the best ever doing stuff the guys won’t even try. The pressure she’s under to be the best goes well beyond what typical professional athletes endure (and she’s not technically a professional, btw).
The way I heard it described is she couldn’t “find the floor” or has the “twisties” which is like a golfer having the “yips”. Is it mental illness? Emotional stress? I dunno. Something is clearly off.
I do know the kind of “yips” Biles has can means she could break her neck so she’d be nuts to risk her future until she’s gets it figured out.
I find it difficult to see how anyone who has accomplished what she has could be looked at as “soft”.
You don’t think she’s leaving millions on the table and tarnishing her legacy by doing this?
If she’d injured something physically, no one questions her. But when it’s an emotional/mental issue, some call her soft or looking for an excuse to not complete when she’s already proven she’s the best ever.
