Simone Biles’ decision to focus on her mental health, rather than compete, has been the story of the Olympics so far

Well, allow me to borrow and paraphrase the wisdom of someone who has quietly embodied the very essence of these Games so far, though entirely unintentionally.

Except, Dumoulin did come back, with a genuine smile, a renewed passion for the sport and now with an Olympic medal that seemed impossible to even consider six months ago. We can debate the pressures of elite sport, and our role in it, as fans, as active engagers on social media or as journalists, as we have been doing extensively over the last few months.
