Simone Biles Strikes Back

The force is strong in this woman.

Ok, all you haters! Simone Biles returned to the gymnastics competition in Tokyo. She competed in the balance beam and placed 3rd. Biles was awarded a bronze medal. Happy now?!

Despite her mental health issues, Biles chose to perform. And she looked superb. What do you haters have to say now?

Weakness is not a liability. Weakness is strength. Weakness is bravery. Biles was the epitome of bravery and strength on the balance beam.

I’m happy for her. Biles didn’t have to go back out there. But, I'm glad that she did. It wasn’t to prove anything. She’s the most decorated gymnast in history. Her bronze medal win tied her with Shannon Miller. If Biles had competed in the earlier events, she probably would have won more medals. But that doesn’t matter now.

Oh, by the way, haters, before Biles had stepped back from competition, she had been informed that a close relative, her aunt, had passed away. So, it’s pretty safe to say that competing at the Olympics and losing a family member is a pretty good reason to bow out of competition. The pressure was immense and I don’t blame her for wanting to rest. It’s not like she had something to prove. Biles is a G.O.A.T.

Anyway, haters, who will NEVER see an Olympic event — unless it’s on television. You can skulk back to your dark corners and find someone else to complain about. Biles did what she had to do for her mental health. Leave her be!
