She felt she couldn't compete at the level necessary and let someone else go in her place.

They won a silver, and even had Simone been perfect they wouldn't have made up the difference to win Gold.

100% the right call.

She didn't abandon them. She was doing what she thought would give them a better chance of winning.

Team vs. Individual.

If she tries to compete in the individual events and fails due to her mental health, she only loses herself. If she tries to compete in the team event and fails she brings the whole team down.

She let someone else take her place and they won silver. She did the right thing.

They were going to judge her at a different standard from everyone else, plus the pressure she was under back home to perform. She did right by her health.

I'm pretty sure even she would agree with you. The problem is she didn't know she would feel that way.

Its a team event. You cant think at an individual level like that. If this were something where she competes on her own its whatever, but now her team are losers because of her selfishness. This is the global event of the summer, yall dont think every competitor there isnt feeling a bunch of anxiety?

Losers? They won a silver medal and even if Simone was LITERALLY PERFECT for all her work in the team event they would not have made up the difference. They got the best they could do.

Tbh I don't know what information or feeling she had. But in a hindsight sense it was a good call in that the best possible alternate outcome for her occurred. Aside, of course, from the team winning gold without her.

How do you 'bomb' your career if you're already the most decorated American gymnast and indisputably the most dominant competitor at your prime?

She could retire now and have a better career than 99% of the people who ever competed.

She withdrew because she knew they were going to lose, that is why she is saying she "hopes" to compete in the individual competition. It was a selfish and cowardly move.

No. I would have understood if she pulled out of the Olympics entirely for the year but for her to go all the way to the finals and then ditch them when they needed her the most just so she can focus on her mental health is pretty messed up.

That's dumb as fuck though. If you were at the Olympics, wouldn't you want someone to drop out if they thought their head wasn't going to be in the game instead of competing anyway and fucking up your score?

Who's to say her dropping out didn't fuck up their score? How can you say her presence alone wouldn't have boosted their performance?

If she felt fucked up enough to drop out of one of the biggest events of her entire life, she probably would have fucked up.

And I don't know if this is true since it was just some dude on CE, but someone said that even if she'd scored perfectly, it wouldn't have bridged the gap between silver and gold anyway.

She dropped out of the individual all-around too.

Maybe pressure turned into depression or panic attacks or something.

What a shame.

A true teammate always does what's best for the team. The minute it becomes "me" they should pick up a pint and three darts... And there's nothing wrong with that plan B. Especially if you like beer.

Hahaha ha no they don't. The lucky ones may get some kind of sponsorship or endorsement. Probably not for millions except for few outliers and probably for things like Basketball that are major industries of their own outside the Olympics.

The rest depend on prize winnings from other events or non sports income.

I would have much less of a problem with what she did if she was not still going to try to compete in the individual events. That makes it seem like she realized she screwed her team's chances with her first event and dropped out in order to feel like she was absolved of blame for the loss, even though we also lost to Russia in qualifiers.

I am not questioning her toughness. I am questioning her motive for dropping out. If anything, I believe her toughness proves that she did not really dropout for mental health reasons.
