Oh interesting, yet she decided she could compete there but not in her best events I remember when we used to celebrate athletic achievement and not feel good stories based on excuses 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Green_Guinness Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 7 hours ago, Mike31mt said: Yaaay we participated! That's the women's shot put winners. I know because my friend and I were going out and I stopped at her place while she had the Olympics on and this was the event that was being shown and at first (watching the Gold medal winner from China) I thought it was the men I was watching. Total difference from the women's discus Gold medal winner. As far as Biles goes, it seems like she just lost her ish and couldn't compete. When athletes from other sports get the 'yips', like a hitter in MLB going through a long slump at the plate or getting "Steve Sax Syndrome" in the field, they don't get all this love from the media and the masses. Or a FG kicker just seemingly forgetting how to kick between the posts (knock on wood for our guy). An NHL goalie just being awful for a long stretch as another example. These guys get booed and crucified, usually. In these circumstances people usually don't want to hear about 'mental health' unless the player in question has suffered a known incident that would be a legit excuse for not having their head in the game. Biles has been on the big stage before and performed at an elite level. This wasn't her first time at the rodeo and she was heavily favoured to win Gold. So what was different for her this time? Did she just randomly lose it at the worst possible time or is there some other factor or influence that set it off? This would be like Brady missing timing routes and hearing footsteps during the SB. When's the last time you saw someone who is supposed to be the GOAT just lose it in the biggest moment? Plenty of players have had off/bad games on the big stage. This was more than just being off for Biles. She either just totally collapsed or something the public doesn't know about affected her.
