For a long time, the world’s most famous gymnast has been considered the inevitable team and individual champion in Tokyo, but these hopes were dashed when Byers announced his withdrawal from the competition on Tuesday. In the early hours of the morning, there was chaos around the announcement. After she thought that the vaulting performance was poor, Byers left the arena with the coach and returned to start the uneven bars. An amazing change happened before she was ready to participate in the competition, she put on her warm-up suit again and left again. Some people think she was injured. Byers later admitted that she did drop out of school due to health problems. What she cares most is her mental state.she says She began to doubt herself And can’t completely overcome it.
Super star Simone Byers Said that she withdrew from the women’s gymnastics team finals on Tuesday because she had been fighting against the devil in her heart and chose to retreat to the second line because she did not want to ruin her team’s chances of winning medals.
“I just don’t trust myself like I used to,” Byers said. “After my performance, I don’t want to participate in other activities, so I think I will take a step back.”
“Once I came here, I was like, no, the spirit is not there,” she said. “I have to let the girls do it.”

Before the Olympics, Osaka had not participated in a competition since winning the first round of the French Open. After that game, she withdrew from the French Open to prioritize her mental health.

Byers’ absence made her teammates feel that after winning the gold medal, they won the silver medal second only to the Russian team. She cheered for her crew on the sidelines and said she was proud of their performance.
“This medal is definitely for (Byers), because if it weren’t for her, we wouldn’t be here,” teammate Jordan Chilis said. “We will not be the Olympic silver medalist (if not because of her).”
Byers’ actions have been criticized. Some people say that the price of becoming a professional athlete is the ability to withstand the tremendous pressure brought by world-class competitions.

That is, until recently. At the beginning of July, Byers finally said Details of her abuse. Maybe a few weeks later, she felt “uncomfortable” in the Olympic Games, which is no coincidence.
Byers has said that she hopes to return to the women’s all-around title in the Tokyo match on Thursday.
