Forced to win gold on a torn ankle #gymnastics #olympics #thenvsnow #simonebiles

Some people seem confused thinking that I am glamorizing being forced to compete. Quite the opposite, I intented to paint gymnasts getting control over their choice to compete as a positive thing.😅

In Simone’s defense she was having mental problems almost forcing her not to compete and in my opinion mental health should come first.

Ì see what you’re saying but it’s coming out as gymnasts now don’t work as hard but ì get it bc if she had a choice she would

What i believe Is that we should not support people with injuries to compete or participate in a sport for a period amount of time even if we are like wow she is so strong yada yada yada, it is 100% not safe

That's the reality
Without control drugs, she can't perform

bro simone biles was in a more dangerous position because she couldn’t focus when doing flips when she had the «  twisties » so that could cause her to fall badly like on her neck

Either way, gymnastics is hard, and people get injured a lot from it.

No, thank you. I’m still team Simone. That’s the reason for which we still have her with us.

Who’s the smart one though? Keri never competed again yet Simone is held as the goat

Aww Keri ❤

Yeah but the ones who were forced to compete had career ending injuries so its smarter to drop out

Respect 🙏🏾

"Shake it off you can do it" is what makes greatness

That’s crazy

They made this change because it was so bad for the gymnastics mental and physical health ❤

I freaking hate people like this. Simone COULD NOT COMPETE. If you even attempted any of these things, you would die. Shut tf up

I respect Simone so much but Kerri is my inspiration since that day in Atlanta. I was 15. A woman who sacrifices herself for a group: the icon of my values.❤

I get what you are trying to say, but if you were in Simone’s position you would do the same thing. What Simone went through at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics was way bigger of a deal than the whole world thought.

Я видела этот матч . Сломала ногу в прямом эфире

So yall are ok with someone being forced to do a stunt on an already broken ankle so they have to be carried of the the hospital? Im glad Simone exists in a time where she could take care of herself.

Simone made the right decision she didn’t feel safe in the air and there was a story of another girl who didn’t and I think she broke her neck she did the smart and responsible thing and left

I remember this! Mary Lou Retton showed me the meaning of resiliency

it so crazy that she ran on a torn ankle then landed on 1 foot❤

Jesus will save you all GODBLESS you all

Just as a handful of comments and I weep for the intelligent of people thinks the s video s trying to criticize Biles as weak. You idiots. 🤦‍♂️

They are people too 😢

Is nobody gonna talk about how Kerri hurt herself and STILL stuck the vault? I know its bad that she got made to do it but that was still badass

thats simone biles your talking about

then you do it

simon aveva delle buone ragioni, belli questi video ma onestamente non ci sta

You either make history or be history

I feel bad now😢😢😢

she has a blocage

Parem de romantizar abuso

Is nobody going to talk about how like what the vault is different

If I were her I would have quit, but this strong woman kept going. Great work to her!

Thats why white is always superior than.....u know the rest story brother and sister....

Fact: the “before” video was when the people in charge of placing all gymnastics equipment put the vault 1 inch shorter and all gymnasts got injured and still got forced to compete

No what if the ankle is torn or broke then it will get very worse idk how she still was able to do that i wouldn't

As duas demonstraram força de forma diferente, sabe a coragem q é preciso pra sair de uma olimpiada sendo maior do mundo em sua modalidade por reconhecer seus limites?! As duas foram gigantes cada uma a seu modo.

Can people please stop saying that simone quit in the Tokyo Olympics. She listened to her body beacause it was to dangerous to finish

Prefiro a Rebecca

That’s what I wish my gymnastics was like cuz my team quits with me

😮😮😮😮wow

wow an athlete decided it was best for them not to continue when they injured themselves badly?

Kelly shrug herself agrees that she was forced to do that vault and that had left allot of mental scars and she would've never done that if she had a choice

she could die if she continued

Allah is real god!!!!!!!!!!

I mean if you were competing like gymnastics u would not be able to do a single thing a professional gymnast does

And you think it was a good thing to do not take in consideration athletes health??
