Simone Biles withdraws from vault, uneven bars competitions

American gymnast Simone Biles has pulled out of the individual competitions in vault and uneven bars, according to USA Gymnastics.

She probably quit because of the undue pressure from the networks. They made her look like a miracle for the US team. Could you handle the pressure if the whole world was looking at you and expecting you to be perfect, I don't think so I couldn't She's a human being not a machine

Simone,we are with you! You have to take care of YOU! We will be praying!

Who cares

Its a mental breakdown for the US on a global stage. The reasons don't matter, people can be sympathetic, but optically every nation is noticing that what we could do to overcome adversity in the past, we fail rise to the occasion now.

Too bad some dude didn’t pull out 24 years ago. Then no one would have to hear about this non-story at all.

Blaq fragility

She just likes the attention. End her free holiday in Tokyo and put her on the first plane back home.

I commiserate with Simone Biles. She’s in a difficult position. It’s good that a doctor is there to assess her mental health.

Lol who gives a shit, go home

She should get a GoldMedal for bravery! Maybe silver…cause the they weightlifter deserves one as well. NBCOlympics

'Today, after further consultation with medical staff, Simone Biles has decided to withdraw from the event finals for vault and the uneven bars,' USA Gymnastics said in a statement. Tokyo2020 TeamUSA

Stop hating on this girl. If she has mental issues, ppl making fun of her isn't helping. She's done a lot more in her short life than most of us will do in a life time. Lift her up. SimoneStrong

There's something she not telling that's for sure

No strength...just excuses.

hello

All good. We have better and more determined athletes who will take her place and won’t back out on their team or country. Instead of admitting she was competing like shit she chose to use the mental health/stress excuse to cover the fact that she couldn’t hack it any longer.

Yawn.

Lol

Wishing her the best.

abc, try doing a piece on mental health and being fcking informative for once

Time to just go home and let this be Suni Lee and the other women's time. Sticking around just takes attention from them and they're the ones who deserve the accolades now.

Our whole generation is soft

So is she competing on floor and beam

Soooo brave

We love you and care about your overall being. YOU’VE MADE US PROUD! We love you Simone!
