2743955, Either of you watch the actual vault?

I think it was Daggett that made the 'lost' comment...on her warmup vault
She's suppose to do 2.5 rotations...you can clearly see her throw her arms away from her body to stop the rotating and she starts spotting her landing mid-air...she looked lost in the air

I think part of your issue is how easy she has made this look for a decade
I think we all do not appreciate how truly dangerous these events are
The potential for serious injury was evident

I don't know what you need to see it...but this isn't about you.

I don't know much about her personally, but I would describe her as bubbly
Has it been mentioned that this is her first time as captain?
Raisman was captain in 12' and 16'
You can absolutely see a different affect on her face and there was no evidence of the previous bubbly personality, IMO
She looked completely stressed the fok out in qualifying
and she made comments to that effect

Do better.

+1, as another poster had mentioned
NBC decided to run a Nasser story, with a Biles interview on the subject...as she was stepping on the mat...

My fear for her is the bottom feeders in the US are going to pile on her for pulling out

She did what was right for her and it's no one's place to question.
