Simone Biles, Jordan Chiles, Grace McCallum, Sunisa Lee and MyKayla Skinner sat down with Hoda Kotb on TODAY shortly after Biles won the bronze in the individual balance beam final.
SKINNER: It's just definitely not the way that I wanted to go in, to win a vault metal. I would've liked to have it at prelims, and so it really broke my heart to see Simone go through what she was going through, and she should've been the one out there. So for her to step down and give me this opportunity, I really wanted to go out there and say, 'This is for us,' because she deserves it, too.
HODA: Simone, I think one of the things that these Olympics did was put mental health on the forefront. I know that was not your intent, it's just how life rolled out, but I don't think people think about mental health. They think, 'Just get your courage up, get your guts up and go do it,' but it's not that.
HODA: I know how strong you are because I know you and I know what you've been through in your life, and I've watched all the things you've been through, and you're always you're there, back straight. So, when that day happened, when you decided not to compete, I knew it had to be crushing for you not to compete.
