She also stated that she wanted to prioritize her own ‘wellbeing’ while insisting ‘there is more to life than just gymnastics’.

Controversial TV host and pundit, Piers Morgan has questioned US gymnast Simone Biles, calling it ‘a joke’ “Are ‘mental health issues’ now the go-to excuse for any poor performance in elite sport? What a joke,” Morgan tweeted. “Just admit you did badly, made mistakes, and will strive to do better next time. Kids need strong role models not this nonsense.” However, a few people criticized Morgan’s tweets, stating that such statement pushes people with mental health problems to remain silent.

He stated. “We seriously need to protect Simone Biles, because they are doing to her what they did to Gabby Douglas. Yes she was the previous gold medalist, but she is allowed to have a off day (if “off” means she’s still in first place), she is allowed to not smile and be visually frustrated, she’s allowed to ignore post round interviews.
