looks like we can add Simone Biles to the list and I hate to say it because I like her.. but she basically quit right in the middle of the team competition last night because of, in her own words, "mental health" issues.

Tokyo Olympics: Simone Biles says "put mental health first" after withdrawing from team final
Tokyo Olympics: Simone Biles says "put mental health first" after withdrawing from team final

Four-time Olympic gold medallist Simone Biles says it is important to "put mental health first" after pulling out of the women's team final at 2020.

Choking is a mental health issue now? Peyton Manning, A-Rod, Greg Norman, the 2004 NY Yankees, the 2007 Patriots, the list goes on and on.

I just watched the final and I'm more annoyed after having actually seen it. So you screwed up a vault. I get it, this stuff is hard. Two of the Russian girls fell off the balance beam. Did they quit and ask for replacements? No, they finished their routines and their team won gold.

I'm not upset that Biles choked, it happens to the best of them. I'm just blown away that an athlete of her caliber would simply quit because she got caught up in the moment.
