Her decision to withdraw from the competitions highlighted the importance of athletes' mental health.
Biles said she has received a lot of support during the Games, but she was bothered by the misconception of some people that"I was at no risk, and mental health isn’t a serious issue." "It wasn’t an easy decision so it hurts that people were like 'oh she quit,'" Biles said."I worked five years for that, why would I quit? ... I just don’t quit, that’s not what I do."
She added she would usually"push things under the rug," but felt doing that would be dangerous this time.
Please come and celebrate the medals in Uganda 🇺🇬 by trekking the MountainGorillas
Proud of you!!!!
A few years ago, stress catapulted me into a parallel universe. My perception of the world became distorted. Only someone who has experienced something similar can truly understand what it is like. Fortunately I returned to reality several weeks later.

Hey media, a little more attention to the real Olympic star this year; Sunisa Lee.
Simone's achievement on the balance beam is about so much more than the colour of the medal she won. 🥉💪
great

Bronze without doping = gold with doping
How's our presidents mental health? Report on that
my question is for why she destroyed her health and life, to be utilized by NOC authorities as useless garbage
Simone Biles is a very determined young lady. I hope she dosen't mind being a role model for young athletes who struggle. Her ability to persevere when the world seems to be so chaotic.
Narcissism at its finest.

Simon Giles? Never heard of him.
Absolute BS. No one believes you Simone.
Some people just need something to be mad about. This looks like a good spot, let’s watch…
As long as she's happy with that then good for her.
People who enjoy being on cereal boxes, in commercials & the darling of America should be able to accept criticism when it's time. Just another hassle that comes with the job. If u have to give up, OK, but don't be mad when we start adulatinng those who stuck in the fight.
Really
🤮
Cmon’ one bronze means more that all her other medals? Hallmark card?
W T F E
Hmmmm....
okay now go away for a while the media needs to report on more than your mental health.
What about it?
I hope Novak sees that bronze medal.
Oh please
See, she can do it without that help of adderall
Give me a break!
Bronze is pointless. In the Olympics it should just be Gold or nothing.
🤡🤡🤡
Can we just focus on the gold medalists at this point
Mentality of a loser!
