TOKYO: The discussion coming into the Tokyo Olympics was never about whether U.S. gymnast Simone Biles would win gold, but how many times.
Biles, 24, began qualifying by flying off the mat with both feet at the end of one tumbling pass during her floor exercise. Biles's competition got off to a bad start on the vault in the first rotation with a disappointing score of 13.766. All three Russians scored higher, as did her U.S. team mates. As the rest of the team moved on, Biles put on a tracksuit and an"R" appeared next to her name in the official results list, indicating she was no longer involved in the competition.
Would you consider this as the story 'Biles exit draws much needed focus on mental health' instead? She shouldn't be vilified for doing what is an important example for others suffering mental health challenges.
