Biles said that she stepped aside to take care of her mental health and cheer on her teammates. Earlier this year, Naomi Osaka dropped out of the French Open and Wimbledon to prioritize mental health.

Biles is a quitter. Go Kerri! 🇺🇸
Focus on the teammates who finished the job very well.
This has nothing to do with mental health and has everything to do about ego.
She was having withdrawals from not taking her ADHA MEDS. BUT CAN SMOKE A LITTLE WEED
She quit on her team and her country bottom damn line!
You never know what a person might be dealing with in their mind so nobody should judge her for doing what she needed to do… some of the people in these comments are setting themselves up for something themselves and don’t even know it by saying negative things… God will surely see her through this!!
She will regret this decision in the future.
So you get to the Olympics then Quit? Seriously? This is a slap in the face of anyone who wanted that chance
After August 8, 2022, no one will care about who quit what, who stepped out from the shadows, what a Hmong is, where the Olympics were held, blah, blah, blah. All this fuss over garishly colored metal – WHO CARES?!
She could have put mental health first before even entering
People can be very heartless. Winning isn't everything. God bless her and comfort her ðŸ’â€â€ÃƒÂ°Ã…¸â„¢Â Amen
National disgrace.
Her scoring was tampered with, handicapped and changed. That is unfair to her and the country too
Turns out people only like so much talent! After that they get to feeling a bit insecure I reckon! Easier to dog someone than to compete fair I guess!
Lol chocked
I don't like the fact that she has to be questioned on why she chose out.. to focus on her health which is more important than gymnastics at this moment. I admire Simone biles and we love you Simone from Minneapolis..ðŸŒÂÂâ¤ï¸ÂÂðŸ’ÂÂ
Wah wah wah wah….. QUITTER!!! Wah wah wah wah.. QUITTER!!
Miss Simone take care of you it took a lot of Courage for you to admit that you were having issues and I take my hat off take care of you little sis we love you
Not an olympian…
Simone is a distraction now. Go home.
When the going gets tough she got going. She deserted her team
I don’t understand…so by quitting it makes her mental health gets better??
Proud of Simone
This is BS! I am NO LONGER a fan of Simone Biles. I didn't even want to watch the Olympics anymore after this happened. She took a spot that someone else could have gotten, and then backed out because of her "mental wellness",,,,really? What a total cop out!!
She don't deserve that silver medal at all.
all the comments summed up…you are stunning and brave for quitting on your team and runing others lives who did not get a spot.
Conspiracy Theory regarding Simone Biles
1. Simone faked a bumped vault because she doesn't want to represent her country, she often said, failed her because of the Larry Nasser tragedy and that US authorities haven't done enough to protect female gymnasts. That's why she kept saying that the silver medal was the effort of her teammates, not her.
2. She's not competing in the individual all-around as to give her teammates, the ones that stood by her side, the opportunity to shine in this special spotlight. She doesn't have to prove anything anymore on this level.
3. She will compete in the individual events to have the opportunity to attach her name to two routines; one on vault and one on the balance beam. She will not compete on the floor routine to give her BF Jordan Chiles the opportunity to medal on an individual event, which is Floor.
Let's see how this will work out.
Being a quitter isn't what a GOAT does can't believe how soft and woke America is becoming,the collapse of this country is coming soon.
Greatest huh? 6 olimpic medals I believe… Micheal Phelps has 20+. But seeing how it's now the woke olimpics they wount be looking at the accomplishments of the athletes but the wokeness
Dude there’s other really good female athletes on the team
She choked plan and simple…..
Go Suni ! The Hmong community is so proud of you!!! â¤â¤â¤â¤ ðŸ‘ÂÂðŸ‘ÂÂðŸ‘ÂÂðŸ‘ÂÂðŸ‘ÂÂðŸ‘ÂÂ
You don't have explained why you quit your an American Hero you 💘 your county . May God bless you.
The sad part is, this young woman has already brought home multiple Olympic Gold Medals on the behalf of The United States of America, and that fact has been void in our conversations. She has already performed tasks in her sport only she has accomplished. How much is enough! She has earned the RIGHT to space. Let's remember she was sexually assaulted by an Olympic Games-connected Doctor!
Stop giving quitters attention and focus on the amazing talent of the girls stuck it out, stayed loyal and are doing amazing!
She loves the attention, then wants sympathy for all the attention she gets. Why not give back the endorsements and move out of the public life
She was obviously paid by Russia or China to stand down on the competition and use the woke left rhetoric “mental health†issue blah blah blah to shield her from valid criticism. She was already on that stage for gold medal then she quitted? WTH! I pity her teammates coz they will be shut down from commenting.
Bullshit!
Ummm…..ok. so when the going gets tough. Quit??….great role model for all the little girls watching. Who came up with this plan? A 5th grader?…..Winners never quit and quitters never win. All professional athletes know that. LMAO!!
I hope she can do a Big Sean Bounce Back. Take care.
Muh mental health. You dumped on your team and country because you read a few tweets one night for your social media dopamine fix and suddenly, oh the pressure! Instead of doing your best and risking loss, you abandoned your team and caused yourself to lose. 18 year old boys go to war and you can’t do a flip
She's a quitter. That's what quitters do.
Good for her! I’m glad she’s taking care of herself!
I’m not saying that she should be praised for this, but honestly we might not know the true reason behind this decision so I don’t think it’s fair to make assumptions either way. After all this time I’ve watched her she has been extremely supportive of her team and very mentally tough so quitting out of lack of one of those characteristics seems extremely out of character for her. I suspect there’s something else going on, but who knows at this point.
I do know that she is the only one of this team that was competing when the sexual abuse and scandals with Nassar were going on during her last Olympic. She also might have genuinely thought this was the best move to help her team achieve as much success as possible when she realized she wasn’t performing well. Gymnastics is also a much more dangerous sport than many people realize. Mental blocks like this can cause gymnasts permanent injuries or even death. Who knows
That's her generation. If you don't feel like turning up to work one day, just quit and claim it on "mental health". It seems you get more recognition for throwing the towel in than you do competing these days.
It's obvious her support system was not there 4 her 4 the 1st time in her career bcos of covid restrictions, her parents.
Black fragility.
"I'm representing the United States of America being fully funded in life on the top platform on the planet, but I'm just not feeling it." #WOKEtopia #aintNoKerriStrug
stop talking about her and talk about the rest of the team!
