Was it really going to happen...

Now, I didn't know that. Did this occur during or before the race/meet? Was it serious enough that no one would have begrudged him if he had withdrawn?

Donovan crashed and cracked a bone in his foot IIRC.

The miscues that occurred on Sunday, not just by her but by the rest of the team, making her (more than anyone else since she is the most-decorated) even more afraid of failing. You need only to watch again how Donovan Brazier cracked and crashed at the 550 to 650 mark. Simone did not want to have such a moment that would have cost the whole team a medal, and she thought she was headed in that direction given her mental state on Sunday and/or Monday.

The tragedy of it is that it all transpired on the largest stage imaginable.Last edited by CookyMonzta; 07-27-2021, 09:23 PM.

I don't see Biles as a victim. It seems to me that she embraced the fame and celebrity, she was no shrinking violet.
