Official Tokyo 2021 Olympics thread

[TOAD99]

She didn't perform well on a vault jump (and she hasn't been performing well at these Olympics overall) and that has seemingly broken her confidence/psyche so she decided to leave the team event final and let her teammates do the job alone.

She essentially quit on them....

Damn, I don’t want to be that person

but people have gotten so soft

imagine quitting on your team because things aren’t going your way

Again.. she was raped and has a panic disorder from that. She tried to push through. She goin through shyt. Why it gotta be more than that?

 

[Mr. Jack Napier]

I like Simone as much as everyone else, but shorty quit on her team

That's not the reason why she withdrew from the team event final.

Here is video of her explaining the decision to withdraw:



Simone's confidence was shot and she decided to quit instead of pushing through it. Fair or not - she left her team hanging.

Not reallyif she didn't have it today us might not even have medaled

Would you want your Ace pitcher to get creamed for 9 runs in the first or after a batter just saying I don't have my stuff today go to the pen

breh.. it's all related. She has panic now because of what happened to her.

 

[MenacingMonk]

All this Juelzing for a quitter.

Is women’s gymnastics already done? If not, she better come out strong to get rid of what happen in today’s games.

These athletes and this “mental health” shyt is

Stay home and drink a theraflu if you aren’t bringing your A game

A star QB not coming out after halftime of a Super Bowl, or a NBA star sitting out the 4th quarter in a game 7 of the NBA finals would not be able to get away with this.

Like I said fair or not - she quit on her team. Also, aren't teammates supposed to help/boost you up? Why couldn't she ask her teammates to help her regain her confidence?

She just bailed.

breh.. it's all related. She has panic now because of what happened to her.

She was dominating the competition all year until now, so I don't think so.

But I'll agree to disagree

Dude has the nerve to bring up her sexual abuse like that’s the reason. He don’t know what’s going on in her head.

Our Asian ping pong player looks aight. She getting creamed by this boy looking Taiwan player though.


But back to real sports. So is this the end of "choking"? If pressure causes you to fold is that just mental issues now and off limits? Exactly what is choking now?

Can you even say a player is mentally tough if it insinuates there is something wrong with not being mentally tough?
