I could be wrong, but I wouldnt think anyone will get to replace her in the individual competition.

She's competed successfully through serious injuries and was sexually abused by the doctor her organization assigned to the team and covered for for years and yet still kept going even through that and all the bullshit it came with. First sign of adversity my ass. What a surprise, people who use stupid "back in the day" arguments are utterly ignorant of everything!

Mental health is health. She isnt healthy and cant compete. End of story.

She is the greatest gymnast of all time. She is so fucking good at it, they have to handicap her scores. She's the best.

Jordan came back after a few years and won 3 more championships. If Biles continues to win championships after the Tokyo Olympics this will probably be forgotten about. However, if she does not her legacy will probably be being remembered as a "quitter".

I also remember when people said take a salt pill, and rub some dirt in it.

Only Americans who qualified in their own right (top 12 for all-around, top 8 for individual apparatus) are eligible to take her spot. Jade Carey was in the top 12 and thus can replace Biles for the all-around. There was one apparatus in which an American can take her spot (should she choose not to participate-I don't think she's pulled out of those yet), but for the other three there were no other Americans in the top 8. So competitors from other countries would get those spots. I would be more specific but I can't remember the details.

Michael Jordan didnt quit. He was secretly suspended for gambling by Stern. Besides, its not like he quit sports in that period, he became a minor league baseball player.

She does not have the right to call herself a GOAT anymore.
I mean, pretty fucking egotistical for anyone to call themself that in the first place, but your reasoning is not why.
