It's a completely unprecedented move that has never happened before in the

Yup. Sometimes quitting is not an option because the stakes are high and people

I’ll just say this: if my accomplishments were all known I’d be due nowhere near the praise given Biles

I've been in a few extreme and life threatening situations in my life. One of

And Simone never has had to overcome anything so I totally get your stance.

Exactly. You should totally be quadrupling (or whatever) down on this

I'm certainly not perfect. I just don't think it's okay to let down your friends

I think your experience bears absolutely no relevance on this question

It's kind of weird how her teammates are more understanding than random people on the internet.

Can't you see? Female Gymnastics IS life or death.

Olympics was the entire lives of her teammates. Who she literally quit on when
CougarTailDevourer

Yeah, too bad she couldn't get more high scores like the vault run she had!
HingleMcCringleberry

She could have at least tried. That's what Olympians do. See Kerry Strug.

See the pitcher analogy above. You’re pitching poorly, and we’ve got another

Bad analogy. They didn't have another "pitcher" ready to go.

They have another gymnast, right? Someone to take her spot?

See: USA Gymnastics and decades of abuse. Kinda messed up that she felt like she

But wasn’t her motivation actually to help them? Isn’t that actually the right

If her not competing is helping then then she's not the GOAT. If she is the GOAT

You know I once saw a reliever come in for Nolan Ryan. You must think Ryan sucked.

Another bad argument. She’s great (maybe the greatest) because of her

Nope. As they say, Winners never quit, and quitters never win. What Biles did

So an injured player who is going to make the team worse should keep playing

Her quitting gave them a medal. Her competing would have taken that away.

Why? Don't they take the highest three of the four scores?

I don't know much about the Biles situation and haven't read cougarboards

Osaka quit French Open after 1st round. LeBron walked out in 4Q in playoffs

Osaka is not the greatest of all time, she isn't even the best currently, though
