Simone Biles talked to reporters after withdrawing from the team event at the Tokyo Olympics saying she “wasn’t in the right ‘headspace’ to compete”:
Steven Albritton ~ TOKYO (@AP) - Simone Biles says she wasn't in right 'headspace' to compete and withdrew from gymnastics team final to protect herself.
"She wasn't in the right 'headspace' to compete." "She withdrew from the gymnastics team final to protect herself." Huh? If you don't have the mental stability to compete, then why did you try out in the first place? Give someone else who isn't going to flake out a chance to be on the team. And why do you feel the need to withdraw in order to protect yourself? It's gymnastics, not mortal combat!
She added, “I didn’t want to go into any of the other events second-guessing myself”:
The Associated Press ~ BREAKING: Simone Biles says she withdrew from #TokyoOlympics gymnastics team final because she wasn't in the right headspace to compete. "I didn’t want to go into any of the other events second-guessing myself,” the American gymnast said.

It's awfully late to be flaking out, now, Simone ... you're already in Tokyo.
And “I have to focus on my mental health”:
7News Boston WHDH ~ ‘I have to focus on my mental health,’ says Simone Biles after withdrawing from gold medal event.
Maybe try synchronized swimming?
And:
Ian Herbert ~ Simone Biles: ‘I feel like I’m also not having as much fun - and this Olympic Games I wanted it to be for myself and it felt like I was still doing for other people - and that hurts my heart that doing what I love has been taken away from me.’
You sound just like lil' Barry Soetoro ... "me, me, me, me, me, and ... oh yeah ... me."
Pathetic.
