What does karma have to do with a historically dominant Olympic team doing what everyone expects them to?

Nothing. Which is why I’m not sure why karma was brought up when they lost 1 game to France….

Go USA!

I have to care to enjoy, which I don’t. I kind of hope the US loses. Not a huge fan of pop on any level and think we would be better off with a different coach. That said I expect us to win.

Also on Biles, wish she had decided to retire before the olympics but she did what she need to for the sponsorship. I don’t think there was anything physically wrong with her other than she was losing and would rather dip than take the L. It’s not exactly walking away on top, but it’s something.

She had a massive anxiety attack. All the pressure finally caught up with her mixed with the mind causing unreasonable fear and panic. It can happen and it's nothing nice

After wining a last couple of olympic events, we beat China by one in gold medals. We are the champions and the best in the world. We know without their labs they wouldn't be even be close.

It was a mix of everything for her...

She's been taking ADHD meds for years (adderall), it's banned in Japan so she wasn't able to take it which would result in withdrawls. Add that onto the already massive amount of pressure she was already under being in the Olympics/the face of Gymnastics. And then add onto that the mental of losing a family member, it's the perfect storm.

USA announces we are now counting Canada's medals as our own, hatpins displayed on our national hat.

Also, add central and south american countries since they are crossing our borders. We clearly dominated them. Now they are very pissed off.

That is incorrect. Japan implemented an exemption that allowed Olympic athletes to take their ADHD medication while in Japan.

"If filed on time"... Everything is nothing more than assumption and ifs.

But as I said, it was just one of many things that was going on in her world at the time.

It's real easy to judge sitting at home on the couch and calling her a quitter (even though shes already proven her greatness on the biggest stage possible), while all of the people judging her know that they wish they had even 1/16th of her talent/ability.
