with a lot of the major upsets happening all around in this olympics, I would understand why she want to keep her unblemished record. she raised up the bar so high with her previous performances that anything or a point lower than that would seem unacceptable for the spectators and judges. she doesn't have to prove herself to anyone. all her success is the result of her own hardwork. and people criticizing her are insignificant.As for Miss Biles, it kinda does look like she didn’t want to ruin her Olympic record by potentially getting lower scores so she decided to pull out. However, I can totally see that pressure being too much for her and causing her mental anguish. I would’ve just urged her to keep going because she’s got nothing to prove. She’s solidified her place among the greats.
