This.Did you even see her though? She didn’t look right even on practice vault. They talked about on air that It’s extremely dangerous when you lose where you are in air. She could have hurt her team and herself if she had continued. She probably shouldn’t hve done vault
This.
Her vault was almost two points off her standard vault. And the vault she did wasn't even particularly difficult (for her, anyway), and she still flubbed it.
Again, I'm way more willing to take the stance that if she was going to withdraw, she should have done it before the meet started, because her crappy vault tanked the team score and forced them to use a lower-scoring floor routine from another gymnast that basically prevented them from catching the Russians. She gave it a shot, knew she didn't have close to her best, and pulled out so they'd at least have a shot at a medal.
Surprised this hasn't turned into a "media crowns someone else who wasn't ready yet" thread, TBH.
Her middle name is Fucking? Is that some Hmong word?Suni Fucking Lee!!! Olympic gold medalist. She's the first Olympic gold medalist of Asian descent (actually Hmong Chinese, a Chinese minority).

What the fuck have you ever done?Mental well being....?....
Ya,,I watched it late last night......
Thats also known as being a quitter in my book.....
Shes suppose to be a role model and teamleader... .
A teamleader goes and plays under any circumstances.....
When you are this so-called goat gymnast,you dont bow out because of issues in the greatest stage of all their careers.....
Some of those girls may never make it back to the Olympics and was their only shot at gold with her being in it........
If she was to think of someone,it should of been her teamates and not her.....
Atleast they all could of said we gave it our best.....
So you know what it's like to also have been sexually abused through a majority of your childhood by a team physician, and then have the entire world watching you?Its already a media circus......
Mho.....she quit...."Oh golly gee,I cant handle it mentally"...
Its not her first rodeo....jeezus chryss,rub some dirt on it and get back in there.....
.
These girls have been waiting for how long and trained fir how long now just to be in the Olympics knowing theres a great chance at winning gold,and the so-called goat cant handle it because of mental anguish....
Its a joke.....
What the fuck have you ever done?
Didn't see you in the tough guy threadPlayed sports for many years........walkes away one timeplaying ss and a ball took a funny bounce,smacked me in the mouth where it took 4 stitches to close.....
I was back in the lineup our next game....
NEVER quit on your teammates.....
I grew up when men were men and not this pussified era.......
And if that happened to you today they surely would have sat you with concern for concussion issues.Played sports for many years........walkes away one timeplaying ss and a ball took a funny bounce,smacked me in the mouth where it took 4 stitches to close.....
I was back in the lineup our next game....
NEVER quit on your teammates.....
I grew up when men were men and not this pussified era.......
Didn't see you in the tough guy thread
Why does it affect you so much? It's her life. Why give so many fucks?Ya,like Im gonna walk on over and provoke a fight with a guy 70+ plus lbs biggger than I and 3 other guys........I wonder what the chances of me coming out of that unscathed.....?
But lets compare that to a sport which I played till I was 38 and decided to walk away and bow out of the biggest competition of hers and her teammates life cause I wasnt mentally capable of doing it.....
Thats a cop out....
She was fucking up and knew it and tried to save face.....
Every athlete in the whole world has fucked up.......you get over it and go on.....
Its not her first rodeo......
They had some video of her training for individual events last night. Face planted the landing each time.
I see it more akin to the old veteran pulling himself out of the game because they realize they are hurting the team.
I think it’s more than gymnastic yips.I'm reading it's called "twisties"
In light of that she did the right thing.
There is really no clear correlation to a major sport because a slump in most team sports can be overcome with contributions in other ways or from other teammates. Hers would doom her team completely.
