I can't imagine the emotional roller coaster she would have experienced going from alternate in 2016 to qualifying as an individual in 2021 to getting ready to go home and now achieving her Olympic dream. Major props to Skinner on doing the vault of her life and having ALL her hard work pay off

There’s really no struggle Simone is going through though. It’s all contrived and mental in a physical sense she isn’t struggling and is completely fine. She just didn’t have access to her Ritalin which I understand would throw you off but not in any other way than withdrawals which could’ve been prepared for with detox during training but honestly these add meds are borderline performance enhancing so it’s a mess.
@HB-ey2dk

@@randomdude189 so there is the crux of the issue with the rumor: she had a year and a half or more of heads up she'd be going to Tokyo, so I'm quite certain they figured out either what she needed to be able to bring it, or have a set plan to detox/taper off. You really think she wouldn't have planned? Either way, everything I've seen from pics and videos of her look absolutely nothing like someone withdrawing from any sort of medication. It's really irresponsible and dangerous to discuss someone's medical condition and medication, especially when it's not confirmed.

So many were dumping on Simone, when the reality of it she sacrificed what could have been more wins for herself and opened the way for her teammates to achieve their personal life dreams. And on top of it Simone chose to stay and support her team knowing all the negative comments and mean jokes being made towards her literally from every country around the world. I can't imagine that sort of pressure. I have hard enough time if just a few people around me say crap. It's kicking someone when they are down. Simone has done so much for the sport of gymnastics and made history for the US. She could have chosen to stick it out, but knew in her heart she would drag down her team with poor scores. She knew her teammates could step up and shine. And people like MyKayla and Suni did exactly that!! So happy and proud for them.

Yes! This comment says it all! Simone is truly a class act, the definition of a team player. What really upsets me is how uninformed people are spouting off nonsense, Simone didn’t “quit” or give up she didn’t just have a bad event. What she’s experiencing is a disconnect between brain/body, not knowing where you are in the air, you can’t control anything, it’s frighteningly scary to think of just how one regular misstep can injure in normal circumstances, competing with the twisties could be a death sentence.

Simone didn’t abandon her team she withdrew to mental health. She was the center focus all the olympics and being docked for your talent, isn’t fair. She had so much pressure on her shoulders before Tokyo. They weren’t judging her fairly for her skills because of the difficulty. And she was the poster for team USA, that’s a lot of pressure on someone. I’m just glad she landed safely on that vault. Cause if she wasn’t mentally there and got lost in the air she could of landed horribly and got seriously injured. Simone did the right thing for her, and the team. If she competed and not fully there mentally her scores would be horrible and actually hurt the team and we possibly wouldn’t of got a medal at all. Thankfully Simone told MyKayla to stay, she almost left after failing to qualify but Simone told her to stay.
