![]() Your critical thinking skills are woefully low, your lousy rationale is perilously close to idiotic Trumpers who refuse vaccines, don't believe that covid is real, and still cling to the fantasy that Biden lost. she's lazy? Or she needs more attention? Or just she's too fragile? Or what? You're reasoning is literally insane. You hate-filled halfwitted soulless assholes really believe that she just pulled "stunt" because. She's been through this condition before, she knows what she can still fight through and what she can't. Lots of flipping but that's not the challenge. She'll probably adjust a few of her moves but if you really were invested, you'l watch her routine to see that she performs almost no twisting. The BEAM doesn't require the same amount of twisting that the other events do. You know NOTHING about the sport and the more you write, the more ignorant you self-own. In the aftermath of her withdrawal, Biles said on Twitter that the love and support she received "has made me realize I'm more than my accomplishments … which I never truly believed before."įewster believes her example will also help other athletes who are struggling while feeling immense pressure to perform and succeed.Why does this young black woman bring out such hate and hostility from a bunch of losers on a gay men's forum? WTF do you care so deeply that you much write such bile and hateful nonsense? "If she felt she couldn't do something, it could have been disastrous to push her." 'I think it's going to be huge for athletes' "Gymnastics is a very high-risk sport," Fewster said. The term is used to describe a mental error, or block, that can feel like getting lost in the air. The error that she made during competition was one she had also made in practice, and the athlete later described experiencing "a little bit of the twisties." □- performing could have had serious consequences for Biles, Fewster said. The outpouring love & support I’ve received has made me realize I’m more than my accomplishments and gymnastics which I never truly believed before. ![]() "It takes incredible bravery and courage … to stand up and advocate for her mental health and what she needs," Fewster said. What Biles did showed tremendous strength. ![]() But criticism also followed: that she is a quitter, or that she should have pushed through. When Biles withdrew, a flood of support swept through social media. "We can hear the voices - some very, very negative voices, and sometimes abusive voices … that no one deserves." 'It could have been disastrous' "They're on the world stage and people are watching, and social media has really had a big impact on that, because of the criticism that they get," Fewster said. There can be a sense of responsibility to do well, because parents, coaches and sponsors have put so much energy into them. Whether an athlete is a potential medallist or not, Olympic expectations are heavy, she said. "They are starting to say, 'Hey, I need to take care of myself, and I'm more than just an athlete. I am not here only to entertain everyone, and I need to protect that.'" Pressure, criticism and expectationĪccording to a recent peer-reviewed study from researchers at the University of Toronto's faculty of kinesiology that analyzed the mental health of Canadian Olympians, stress and training load were "statistically significant correlates" of depression and anxiety.Īnd according to Fewster, pressure can sometimes lead to a fear response intense enough to impact the body. ![]() ![]() "I think what we're starting to see is there are athletes that are struggling … and now they have voices," Fewster told the Calgary Eyeopener on Thursday. In fact, the gymnast now joins a growing list of high-profile athletes - including Naomi Osaka and Michael Phelps - who have also opened up about pressure in sport and its impact on mental health. She said Biles's actions align with a broader pivot away from the perception of athletes as "superhuman."
