She cant call herself the goat.

I mean its not a bad thing and I respect her decision.

but she aint no goat. You need to give 110% to be the goat and that aint it. You need the mamba mentality

Is it true they were trying to implement special rules to debuff her performance?

I don't really watch gymnastics but isn't she significantly better than everyone else statistically? So no matter how you feel about her backing out she has big enough of a lead to still be the GOAT.

Well yeah she was the victim of sexual assault not the perpetrator so of course she doesn't fit the "mamba mentality".

You seem really well versed in women's gymnastics though, so tell us who is actually better than her.

Agreed. Her legacy is ruined. No one will remember her as having won Gold in 2016. Instead they will remember her as a quitter.

Think it's ok in gymnastics because of the danger, but can you imagine if an NBA player does this. Just sit out of the NBA finals because of nerves.

That'd be some insane roasting.

It's really telling when people step into a world they know nothing about just to try to bring someone down in a something they know nothing about. It's just trying to spread hurt to spread hurt.

Sounds like she had the twistys, where she was having a lot of trouble with her aerial awareness and controlling herself in tumbling. This is usually caused by learning too many tricks too fast, so you dont have a full mastery of them in the air.

If anything this is more similar to a physical injury on why she is sitting out. She isnt sitting out because she is depressed, under too much pressure, or what people traditionally think about when they say mental health.

Kobe Bryant demanded a trade after Shaq left because he couldn't win for a few years.

He threatened to leave when Shaq was there. "I'd rather play on Mars or somewhere than play here". And he threw the series against Detroit in 2004 because Shaq tore it up the first game or two.

OGs remember everything.

Also, friendly reminder that Kobe pushed himself too hard and tore his achilles in 2013. He was limping around after the games before that happened.

No. Read a news article once in a while. Among other things she complained of vertigo.

Shes literally the most decorated gymnast of all time. She has 10 more World Championship Golds than the next closest female gymnast, 8 more Golds than the next closest male gymnast, and has more Olympic Gold medals than any gymnast in the past 15+ years, and more than any female gymnast in the past 30+.

If she aint the GOAT shes at the very least in the conversation for it.

And even with that, she does skills that no one else has ever been able to do in order to challenge herself.

I feel like you can be disappointed when an athlete on her level doesn't compete, but you have to admit to yourself that all you care about her is potentially putting herself in harm's way for your own amusement when you criticize for stepping out when she says it's due to mental health, or something like that, because a large part of the sport is mental focus.

Supposedly she was overcome by the twisties, which disorients gymnasts and interferes with their spatial/hand-eye coordination.

So she didn't quit because she lacked heart or was lazy or anything, she quit because she literally couldn't do the routines anymore.

She just had very bad luck with the timing of the onset of that condition.

"World's most decorated gymnast is a quitter" - CE poster who's never played sports in his life.

Also, Kobe quit on his teams a bunch. Let's not forget when he asked for a trade, almost left in FA, or refused to shoot the ball in a playoff game to prove a point.

how so?

she regularly does moves that can injure her, if not worse.

she's also done routines while she was injured.
