All due respect bro, your way off. You fall on your head off of a two and a half twist as high and hard as she goes, you could be paralyzed..

Give me a break. She can do that stuff in her sleep. She's probably the best female to ever do this stuff.

Only way I give her a pass in this? Is if she was truly in the midst of a full blown panic attack. That shit can completely take over your body. At that point, it becomes not just a mental thing, but a physical thing. Making it impossible to not only compete, but to function at all physically.

If that was the extent of this? Then ok. I get it. I just personally didn't see signs of that level of mental anguish. Yips? Not buying that either.

Something was off with her no doubt. But like I said, she was at no more risk of serious injury than her teammates and competitors.

We will agree to disagree. You obviously haven't been around gymnastics very much. Someone going through this type of mental block in gymnastics can definitely injure themselves. Most gymnasts learn how to fall, so that may have saved her had something bad happened.

A little off was an understatement. Did you see her practice vault? That wouldn't have even been top 10. She actually gave her team a better shot by pulling the plug. She was awful and she knew it. She had the yips, same way as a golfer does or a pitcher that can't find the plate. Golfers who get the yips mid tournament shoot 12 over and go home Thursday night. Pitchers who can't find the plate get pulled and go do some bullpen sessions to figure it out after the fact. She screws up those vaults she leaves in a wheelchair.

Yeah that’s what makes the difference to me.

If you are even a little off in this sport, you can put your life in serious danger.

It’s sad to see, but probably the right call. The part that’s a little strange to me is her proclaiming herself to be the GOAT recently. IMO she should not have done it (even though she probably is the best ever)

Fixed that for ya. I capitalized the "B" because to Hell with proper grammar
& punctuation -- Blackness trumps EVERYTHING damnit.

Normal standards & rules don't apply. Got it? Shush()*

I write my own life, don't worry too much what race baiting lying losers think

Focus on your own happiness and well being

So brave for being a quitter. I think Kevin Love is on suicide watch.

Probably in a hundred years one or two gymnasts died in competition. Pretty good odds.

Another example of today's society is the police witnesses yesterday crying as they told their story and then the PHINO house member crying as he was asking questions. You would have thought they were being forced to do a floor routine.

when you need to make some ridiculous statement like this you've lost the argument

these girls do the routines thousands of times before a competition so unless you can prove some epidemic of vault paralysis you're just a fn douche for taking it to that degree

she's a quitter. let down her team, herself, her sponsors, and her family. if she thinks she had mental problems before wait'll she's slinging eggs n bacon at the cracker barrel before she writes her autobiography called "a misstep away from paralysis" and you'll be the only testicle-carrier to buy it

More lefty morons taking up the cause to virtue signal because she is black
I will say she is an amzaing gymnast and they even changed the rules for her which IMO are unfair to her
But as far as pressure using that as an excuse is silly as if anything that puts less pressure on her honestly
I get a kick out of any change/disproportionate outcome that minorities don't like is some sort of racism but when it is the other way around or negative towards whites all the sudden it doesn't matter
Race is a big weapon for the left

Sometimes when you are not use to failure it is a big head shot to the ego to have to deal with any of it.
You see little tid bits of it even from someone like Tom Brady who at times can be a baby. But he isn't a quitter. Big difference

They're acting as if she's the only gymnast to be stressed about something

Every single one if them is, they're all doing the same routines, they're all risking injury

THIS IS NOT SOMETHING NEW

We just don't think anymore

The popular issues of the day seem to be getting more and more trivial, who cares what some gymnast does at the olympics. You couldn't bother me to spend 10 seconds reading about this.

Guess they don't want people to notice no one speaks english anymore

And I don't argue that indeed 50% of liberal white women are in fact mentally ill...It don't take a genius to figure it out...

Over the years and many a conquest I have completed a perfectly executed scheme....When picking up a women at bar or grocery store,weed out the crazies to the best of your abilities and take them on the most difficult path to your house so they cannot possibly remember the way in or out...Worked for the last 30 years to perfection!

Osaka/Biles are still only 23/24 not fully grown confident mature women. They're still very girly.

Well at least she has one more thing in common with Scottie Pippen besides being black. She quit on her team just like Scottie.

She doesn't deserve a pass and let's pretend for a moment she was white. Do you think everyone would be praising her and she would keep her endorsement deals.

Hell No !!!!!!!!!!
