In a scene reminiscent or Roberto Duran quitting in the

rematch with Sugar Ray Leonard, American gymnast Simone Biles
quit in
the middle of of the US team competition leaving her
teammates to
struggle to the silver medal without her. Biles was not only
the star
of the women's gymnastics team but arguably the biggest star
on the
entire US Olympic team. NBC hyped her continuously in their
run up to
the Tokyo games.
There is no doubt as the star of the team and the favorite to
win
gold again in the individual competition, there was a lot of
pressure
on her and she was underperforming in the preliminaries, but
quitting
in the middle of the competition is not something many will
be able
to understand. The American people can understand failure,
but not
giving up. We expect our athletes to soldier through
difficult times
when things aren't going well. Walking out on her teammates
is not
something that will play well with the public.
Exactly. Did Kerri Strug give-up, or did she tough it out? Ms. Biles
should have dropped out BEFORE the Olympics to give someone ELSE the
chance to go to the games.
The banana biter was reading her own press.
Also, her claim as the GOAT has been crushed. No one remembers Roberto
Duran for going 113-16; he is known only for "no mas". Simone "No Mas"
Biles will suffer the same fate.
She was overrated anyway. I thought the white girl from
Minnesota was better and Biles was just there to pacify BLM and
the media.
