“We’ve never seen an athlete like Simone Biles,” Ryan said.
And yet that sport was corrosive enough and abusive enough that she really had to step away for her own mental health,” added Ryan.
“I have to focus on my mental health and not jeopardize my health and well-being.”Biles was replaced in the all-around final by Jade Carey, who had finished ninth in the qualifying round.
More than 150 athletes, including Biles, said that the former USA Gymnastics team doctor sexually abused them under the guise of providing medical treatment.
“I think this just really shows the lack of leadership of USA Gymnastics and the United States Olympic Committee.”However, there is hope that a brighter future is in store for USA Gymnastics.
