Raisman said of her former teammate: 'I can't imagine the bravery that it takes to just say, 'I'm not going to do it today.''

“We also have to focus on ourselves, because at the end of the day, we’re human, too,” Biles said. “So, we have to protect our mind and our body, rather than just go out there and do what the world wants us to do.”

Raisman was the captain of the women's gymnastics team at the 2012 London and 2016 Rio Olympics, helping the U.S. win gold at those games.

How about her teammates?

Quitting, it takes quitting.

I’m not going to work today. Mental health day. I’m brave.

Maybe the Olympic Committee should award Simone with a medal for her bravery. How about the Snowflake medal.

That’s exactly what the people on job seekers allowance say every day … I’m not going to do it today . It’s a cop out !!

The girls who were nervous and pushed through were brave and nobody is talking about them. The focus is on the girl who dropped out

Bravery? Bahaha. Quitting is now bravery? America has fallen….

In some sports soldiering on when u r not mentally prepared and acute is dangerous. Missing your spot as you flip, and not know where u r could have a very bad outcome. Nicole Biles has nothing left to prove. She is the GOAT of women's gymnastics hands down.

Bravery is continuing to compete when you are underperforming.

If you go out there in the wrong mindset, you could break something. And it does take bravery to admit poor mental health; the fear of people reacting like the haters on Twitter have is why people often keep it to themselves, making things worse.

Uh…well..I mean, if she did compete, would she not be brave? She’s brave either way? 😬

Cowardice is the new brave.

So brave is saying you’re the greatest and then quitting when it’s time to be the greatest. Interesting take.

Idk, to me bravery is facing adversity even when All Odds are against you. Quitting is Never considered as Bravery. Look it up. If you withdraw due to injury, that’s another story.

Hitherto, I've never heard of quitting being praised as bravery. Being beaten by an opponent is called competition; walking away during performance is unheard of. If she knew deep down she wasn't fit, then she shouldn't have tried out for the team. Know yourself!

Brave-just the opposite!

Those girls didn’t look mentally prepared

She proclaimed herself the GOAT. And then she quits, that is not a GOAT move. Bye Simone 'No Mas' Biles 👋🏿

So stunning so brave. So much bravery to tell your teammates. I quit. That's like Tom Brady quitting on his teammates cuz he's the best qb in the game

If she is struggling then she needs to come home and let her teammates soldier on without her.

1996 Kerri Strug was brave. She is a coward.

I agree

Bravery = Quitting!? What a joke!

Bravery to quit on your teammates?

good luck
