The Olympic trials in the United States had fans in the stands, unlike the actual Games.

"I think the excitement from fans ... can really help you if you're feeling tired. It gives you a little extra oomph and momentum, so I thought about that," Raisman said."I wonder if at the Olympic trials, if they shouldn't have had fans at least for one day, but I know that everyone wants to make money, but I think it's important to get mentally prepared."

In an earlier statement, USA Gymnastics said that Biles would be"assessed daily to determine medical clearance for future competitions." Biles told TODAY that she wasn't sure she would compete in Thursday's all-around competition.

Is there any possibility that the ankle will come into the Simone Biles equation? Should I be prepared for anything... Remember who am I and who is Simone Biles?

It feels weird watching it with empty stands too. It just isn't the same. It's like the NOLYMPICS.

I get she had her reasons for dropping out but move on and give some attention to the girls who competed and won the silver medal. I’m sure they overcame lots of nerves and fears. Nobody is even mentioning their names. It’s ridiculous to focus on the negative

That's bullshit.... sports were played without fans all last year. Get over it.... next
