Are you trying to be a professional A-Hole, or does it just come naturally for you? I'm talking about the Olympics. They have been around since 1896. There have been 29 Olympiads. Name me ONE competitor that has EVER quit because of "Twisties", besides Biles..... ONE. It has never even been mentioned.
Perhaps you can relate to this a little better. It seems more up your alley.
Look back through Olympic media coverage of not only gymnastics but also figure skating and you will notice that there were times when a jump did not land quite right or [for gymnasts] a dismount from the beam looked a little like the athlete almost lost their balance for a second. These are episodes of so called 'twisties' [which was a term used by Biles] and refers to the athlete losing their orientation for a split second. This happens to ALL athletes, from ALL countries, and in ALL competitions. The media generally does not report specifically on these slip-ups because they are so common to these sports. The football equivalent could be called a "fumble", or in baseball, an "error".
As far as Biles making the decision to cease participating in the competition, Olympic or not, that IS her choice to make for whatever reason she chooses to make it. She is NOT the only Olympic athlete that has withdrawn from Olympic competition. And of course history has shown that even whole teams have withdrawn from Olympic competition, out of protest.

I never said she was. She gets the prize for the most flimsy excuse. And we have people here so desperate to defend her, they're comparing her to IFR pilots.
Here is a better question, can you name me one other gymnast in the world who has said anything against Biles leaving competition? Huh, imagine that, none of them did. Know why? Because they are in the sport and know what she is going through. Same as me. Not the same as you. You are an armchair judge who knows nothing about the sport, how the sport is done, nor what it takes to be a gymnast. You, as I have said multiple times, speak from a pit of ignorance and yet claim I'm the bullshitter. Yep, sounds legit to me.
No. That dog won't hunt smart ass. Don't try to run interference by dodging my question by asking another....... Name me ONE Olympic gymnast who quit because they said they got the, "twisties"..... Just ONE in 29 Olympiads dating back over 2 CENTURIES.
True. They think they are the center of the forum universe.
Or....she is just a quitter
