The twisties are apparently a condition were a gymnast does not compute their relative position during their routine. If Biles competed like that she could have seriously injured herself. She was right to withdraw from her events, and the reaction in this thread to her withdrawal is clear proof that most of you couldn't give a [BLEEP] about the people involved in these sports. All you care about is if they add to the medal table.

She cracked. It's not heroic, it's a failure. This nonsense idea that quitting is heroic is the issue; it's not, she was prudent to quit but not heroic.

I agree. It's not heroic. It's more like an injury. She has a genuine mental injury. And she was wise to withdraw. Because she could have been severely physically injured if she couldn't figure out where she was in the air when she's doing those twisting somersaults.
