The American skier has faulted on her first two races. Now, she's getting compared to Simone Biles, who opted out of events at the Summer Games just six months earlier.
"This. We were supposed to learn this lesson last year with Simone Biles. Let's show Mikaela Shiffrin some empathy, not only for her own mental health, but also for the wellbeing of all of the girls who look up to her," yet another followerShiffrin is scheduled for three more events, but it's unclear as of Wednesday on whether she will compete in those.
Shortly after the USA gymnasts returned from triumphs at the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Summer Olympics, it was revealed that former team doctor Larry Nassar had sexually assaulted multiple girls and young women in the program. It was learned of the stringent training at the Texas compound of the Karolyis, who were famed coaches of Nadia Comaneci and eventually the Americans.
"It was so hard for me to even say it out loud, that I knew how hard, like, it crushed me. It would crush my parents. And I didn't want them to feel the same pain that I felt. Because it was very dark times," Biles said.
