Well, IMO the press can look in the mirror to find the reason Biles withdrew from the competition.  I have watched them build her up as the GOAT and a sure lock on multiple gold medals at the Olympics.  They have aired numerous video profiles building her up as this amazing and invincible gymnastics machine.  When I saw the build up, I thought to myself that this was a perfect set up for a let down.  That is too much pressure to put on a person that has suffered so much abuse in her short lifetime.  It turns out that she is a human, not a machine.  The press didn't get their scripted glorious ending.  I hope Simone can move on and live a long and happy life.
