Because she wasn’t struggling with the mental challenges - or at least to the same degree - until she got there.
Seems like the tipping point was when she messed up a routine in a way that really could have caused her to be seriously injured. Made her realize she’s not in the right head space to compete effectively.

they have multiple alternates.. and she’s supposed to know before the actual day that she’s going experience that/those issue(s)?
she warmed up with the intent of performing and clearly had issues

Plus, if Biles tried to pull out before the games started, the pressure she would have gotten from NBC and her sponsors to reconsider would have been incredible.

Finally looked up what ROC was. Russian Olympic Committee. So Russian athletes are basically neutral and don't rep Russia because Russia is banned for their doping scandal.

Dude's a self-righteous, pompous prick.
The GBR had a great day the other day, but all he tried to do was make it about himself. %&$* off.

yeah I don't watch intl basketball until the playing field is more leveled in diff countries. Priority for me for olympics is Track, Swimming, Gymnastics, Indoor Volleyball, women's beach volleyball, handball. Then i'll watch some track cycling, badminton, 3x3 basketball, trampoline. I don't watch Judo except at the end for Teddy Riner who's 1 of the most dominant athletes across all sports period. I try to tune in to great non american athletes on stream that NBC doesn't like to feature as well like Wilfredo Leon, Paola Egonu, Tijana Boskovic, Zhu Ting, etc.

Piers is a waste of space. People like him are scums that deserve our scorn.

^^^ That’s why I called him a parasite - he clings to fame mostly by bad-mouthing people who are much more accomplished/talented than him. Mainly women/women of color.

piers morgan is a racist **** and will argue he's not racist and racism isn't a probem in the uk. Shame on any network employing him and still putting him on tv.

Dudes like this should be glad a I don't have money. My mercenary goon squad would be overpaid and elite, they'd ask nicely once.

I imagine it's kinda like breaking up with someone you love because of other factors. It's not a quick, easy decision, and something will happen whenever it happens to make you realize it's the right decision.

With her vault routines, Simone probably gets up to like, what, maybe 15+ feet off the ground? Could be risking paralysis if you come down really wrong. It’s pretty much common sense to me that you don’t do something like that if you don’t feel mentally up to it.

I’m sure this was answered somewhere in this thread, but why doesn’t the US have NBA players playing the 3x3?
you’re gonna tell me Lance Stephenson wouldn’t smoke all of these dudes?

Wonder why the USA men didn’t take the 3x3 seriously ….. they got 4 women from the WNBA …. If anything they could of gotten joe Johnson to compete in this
They should send a classic team to play - MJ, Chris Mullin and David Robinson would have cleared up.
