Since it’s clear some of y’all won’t make the effort to go watch these videos on @Simone_Biles insta-here. Now imagine these landings w/out a foam pit & instead on the hard mat. Imagine them during team finals. Then maybe STFU with your criticisms of her. #SimoneBiles#Tokyo2020
This was the culture of gymnastics… the same culture that enabled abuse… this is what the “suck it up” culture got us. Simone having a say in her health, is a massive step in the right direction for this sport.
I was 14 y/o w/ a tibial stress fracture, left alone w/ no cervical spine exam after this fall. I competed in the Olympic floor final minutes later. @Simone_Biles 🤍 decision demonstrates that we have a say in our own health—“a say” I NEVER felt I had as an Olympian.
Hi, your friendly neighborhood former gymnast and diver here to attempt to explain the mental phenomenon Simone Biles is experiencing: the dreaded twisties. 💀
Non-gymnasts need to understand the DANGER of gymnastics when your head isn’t in a clear space. It can quite literally be a matter of life or death if things are even the slightest bit off. Maybe get your splits down or something before making assumptions <3
Just a friendly reminder: Olympic athletes are human & they’re doing the best they can. It’s REALLY hard to peak at the right moment & do the routine of your life under such pressure. Really hard.
Today marked the end of an era in the Twinsburg City School District as Trainer Mike spent his last day with us. Mr. Popovich, Mr. Silverthorn, and I had the honor of being ADs with Trainer Mike and will forever be indebted to him for what he has done for Twinsburg Athletics!
