USA Gymnastics announced Sunday that the six-time Olympic medalist has opted not to compete on floor, where she won gold in Rio de Janeiro and placed second in qualifying last week. If she had quit before the Olympics she would have said no to a lot of $$$ I feel for her, but I think maybe it's time to concentrate and comment on the athletes who are there and still competing. 🤷🏽‍♂️
