Editorial: What Simone Biles' latest feat at the Tokyo Olympics shows us about ourselves (via latimesopinion)
Right now, Simone Biles’ fans must be wondering if they will see her out-of-this-world talents again at the Tokyo Olympics. They may never have imagined that this young woman — who set seemingly impossible new goals for herself even when doing less still would have set her on a different plane from all others in the sport — could withdraw from the team competition one day, and then the individual all-around right after.
for her decision, both among the public and in the sports and celebrity worlds, has far outweighed the occasional rants among the Twitterati., also put her mental health first when she refused in May to participate in the mandatory news conferences at the French Open, a tournament from which she ended up withdrawing. Osaka had given clues for months that she was under considerable strain but said she hadn’t wanted to reveal her mental health struggles.
It’s been a slow societal creep toward admitting that many of us struggle from time to time with the need for emotional and mental support and treatment. Not just superstars at the precipice of massive success or failure, but also everyday heroes trying to raise a family when wages are too low, or excel at college while wondering how they’ll ever pay off the loans, or provide care to a family member with Alzheimer’s disease.
