Take your time @Simone_Biles. You have earned the right to owe it to yourself at this tender age. 48 hours or 48 days it might take. Just do it Champion. You owe no explanation to no one. @naomiosaka, you too. God bless you girls #Olympics pic.twitter.com/wMS7eV1UlX

Simone Biles, by saying “no,” bowing out this week, and standing up for her well-being in a sports world that commodifies athletes and prizes winning at all costs, has surpassed all of her gymnastics achievements in importance, @kurtstreeter writes. https://t.co/1TH3scZDxH

‘You better be in the right headspace or really bad things are going to happen’: Shannon Miller on Simone Biles’s exit
Shannon Miller, the most decorated U.S. female gymnast in Olympics history, delivered perspective that only a fellow gymnast could give, when it came to Simone Biles’s decision to withdraw from the team final competition Tuesday due to mental health concerns.
“What I think is really important here is, you have Simone, who clearly knew something wasn’t quite right, and when you are flying and flipping and turning 10, 15 feet above the floor, looking for a landing, you better be in the right headspace or really bad things are going to happen,” Miller said on a Tuesday evening interview on CNBC’s “The News with Shepard Smith.”
Biles said she was not in the right state of mind to continue the competition.
“Physically, I feel good,” she told Hoda Kotb on NBC’s “TODAY” show after she withdrew. “Emotionally, that kind of varies on the time and moment. Coming here to the Olympics and being the head star of the Olympics isn’t an easy feat. So we’re just trying to take it one day at a time, and we’ll see.” – Source
