TOKYO—For over a year, the Tokyo Olympics were reshaped by a global pandemic that changed everything about how sports are watched, played, and organized. Less than a week into the Games, they are being defined by an entirely different challenge: a massive power outage among its biggest stars under pressure.
The most dramatic blow landed on Tuesday night when gymnast Simone Biles, the pre-eminent athlete in her sport and the Games’ biggest draw,after her vault, citing her state of mind and the risks of trying to push through. She was set to defend her individual all-around title on Thursday, saying afterward that she would “take it a day at a time.”
“I just don’t trust myself as much as I used to,” Biles told reporters, adding later that “four, five years ago, that definitely wouldn’t have been the Simone.”

Or, some to the stars have reached their sell by dates? When one person is allowed 6-7-8 chances plus a pro career, it takes a toll on them and it denies other people from having their day in the sun, not to mention it seems political when only 'stars' get to compete.
They're just the biggest crybabies... Thanks to the media lovefest!!
