And that puts tremendous pressure on the sports person/celebrity. It isn’t fair. I’m happy this young lady seems ok with everything and returned to compete last night. She has said she wouldn’t change a thing about these Olympics….and I greatly respect that. Her diminishing led to another teammate rising…and I believe Ms. Biles is genuinely happy for Ms. Lee.
We’ve seen people “fight through” pain and accomplish great things in gymnastics … Mary Lou Retton in ‘84 and Suggs in ‘96 … but that was pain. This was losing a sense of where the ground was. This was taking a great risk of possible life threatening injury. This gal has been amazing. I wish her nothing but the best.
I will add — Nordberg and Concart’s comments on this thread are a lot of what is wrong with so much of the conversation about this and other things in this country.

Columbus is very, very, very proud of her...as are most Americans....
This illegal illegitimate regime that runs America is at fault...not me.... they do not represent me and I have long objected to their crimes against humanity.
I don't think America is "angry" at her...disappointed for her, perhaps, but very understanding...Sports at this level is difficult to comprehend...unless you're an athlete or coach, very honestly...
Best to focus at this point on the success stories from the US competitions...there are many!!
So many!! Including gymnastics!! Including Simone!
The polling industry is broken, the Tech Overlords have ruined social media...so many Americans are now afraid and unwilling to say what they think because they know that if they dont follow the opinions of power they will be hammered...I just dont know what people think here.
I know what power tells us we should think.
She is a hero they claim.
This illegal illegitimate regime that runs America is at fault...not me.... they do not represent me and I have long objected to their crimes against humanity.
She is a hero...."polls" don't matter in these kinds of situations....She did what she had to do to avoid serious injury... She was still there every moment as best she could for her team and for America....
A few others on Team USA, not so much....but the majority of Team USA understands the responsibility of accepting a position on the team....and they're representing us wonderfully....Those are the ones to embrace....Ladies volleyball is on now....
