That's fantastic. Good for her.


I thought this was good insight from former US Olympian, Domonique Moceanu

For those that don't have access to twitter, she shows a video of herself basically landing on her head on the balance beam in a competition, I think in the 96 Olympics and said...

"I was 14 y/o w/ a tibial stress fracture, left alone w/ no cervical spine exam after this fall. I competed in the Olympic floor final minutes later.

@Simone_Biles decision demonstrates that we have a say in our own health—“a say” I NEVER felt I had as an Olympian."

Then goes on to say...

"In our sport, we essentially dive into a pool w/ no water. When you lose your ability to find the ground—which appears to be part of @Simone_Biles decision—-the consequences can be catastrophic. She made the right decision for the team & herself."
