Good for her!
Those same Republicans attacking her for pulling out, cry and scream if they have to wear a mask, meanwhile Biles has competed with broken toes and kidney stones. Just another excuse for Republicans to attack a Black person.

So glad she was able to finish her time at these Olympics on a high note. She’s been a champion for many years, including winning many Olympic medals, and her advocacy for other athletes facing mental health struggles and on her own behalf are medal-worthy as well.

She now ties Shannon Miller for most decorated US gymnast.

I’m glad she’s back and winning. Still not congratulating her for losing her nerve and quitting. Screams of rich, famous entitlement that no other gymnast would have pulled. I still support her, but my opinion about her has diminished.

Oh, how will she live with this? Oh wait, she won’t know or care what some hateful troll thinks of her. People who genuingly support her are very proud of her.

Her bravery put into the spotlight so many things but especially Kerri Strug and her 1996 olympic vault. Now I feel bad for Kerri. Simone was strong enough to take care of herself but Kerri was forced to perform on an injured ankle. Kerri had no choice bc those monster Karolyis were controlling her. She could’ve been paralyzed or dead but she was lucky that it turned out to her favor. Simone is a true hero in every sense of the word
