Biles explains event exit: 'I'm not in the right headspace'

We might have the next Britney in the making

So the "World's Greatest Gymnyst of All Time" QUIT on her team, because she wasn't in the right headspace. Welcome to the snowflake society.

Her motto, "when it gets tough...I'm bailing out".

She doesn’t want to admit she doesn’t stand a chance at winning.

And what’s the deal with skateboarding in the olympics? Time to just do away with all of it. It’s outta control. There doesn’t have to be a “sport” for every person and a place on a “team” for every person.

The Olympics are a joke. And the joke is on the USA. Most of our “athletes”(for real quotation…term is used very loosely) just plain suck compared to the other larger counties. Our kids are soft, useless, crybabies.

Too many stupid "sports". Synchronized diving??

She'll talk with Oprah and we can find out what happened.

I'm embarrassed of our country right now.

That^^ has country-shaming undercurrents.

She did the right thing if she was worried about making another mistake in her routine. If she mentally was struggling, stepping aside and letting another professional perform who is ready to go gives the team a better chance to win. Have to do whats best for the team in a team event, and if thats what she truly felt was best then good on her

Who will take care of her goat now?

If you're the GOAT in your sport, then you suck it up and go out there and make a perfect score, because that's what you do.

A few of her quotes (from USA Today article):

"I was still struggling with some things."

'Sometimes it's hard'

Whenever you get in high-stress situations, you kind of freak out and don’t really know how to handle all of those emotions especially at the Olympic Games."

That just hurts my heart that doing what I love has been kind of taken away from me to please other people.

It's been a long week. It's been a long Olympic process. It's been a long year.

"So it's OK sometimes to even sit out the big competitions to focus on yourself, because it shows how strong of a competitor and person that you really are, rather than just battle through it."

"I'm in the docuseries that I'm filming. I have an incredible team. I love everybody who I work with and the people around me, but it's just like at the end of the day, we're putting content out. So I don't want to put anything out there that people wouldn't view as nice."

A lot of "me, and I" in there, so I'm not really sure she's thinking about the team at all. That last one about filming for her docuseries kind of sums it up. "So I don't want to put anything out there that people wouldn't view as nice."
