As Biles left the competition floor, NBC announcer John Roethlisberger said, “We’ve just been told that, with regards to Simone withdrawing, it is not injury-related. It is a mental issue that Simone is having.”
No one has officially confirmed that statement, but these Games have had an unprecedented focus on athletes’ mental health. That change has been led by tennis star Naomi Osaka, who has been open about her mental health struggles in competitions leading up to the Olympics. WNBA star Liz Cambage withdrew from the Olympics before they even started, saying she feared for her mental health if she played in a stadium with no fans, while being isolated in a strict quarantine bubble.
“it wasn’t an easy day or my best but I got through it,” she wrote. “I truly do feel like I have the weight of the world on my shoulders at times. I know I brush it off and make it seem like pressure doesn’t affect me but damn sometimes it’s hard hahaha! The olympics is no joke!”Biles came into this year’s Games at a high point in her career, but that only meant the pressure placed on her by fans and spectators was even more immense.
