Has anyone been following the Simone Biles story? She has pulled out of both the team and individual all-around finals, mostly due to poor mental health. I think it's so brave that she has spoken out about it and taken herself out of it rather than trying to push through and potentially getting herself hurt.
Sadly I missed that, but congrats to them !
As for the Simone Biles stuff, I've only been following it from a distance. I have to wonder whether Naomi Osaka's withdrawal from the French Open and Wimbledon might have given her the confidence to do this (I did wonder at the time whether it might encourage other struggling athletes - not just in tennis, but in the rest of sport - to do the same). But either way, it's probably the right move: it's disappointing that she's not competing, but ultimately she's just a human like the rest of us, and she needs to take care of herself!
