There is no needed to self destruct so any given country can count medals.
That is all although all the athletes should have boycotted this superspreader from day one.

(115,615 posts)Figure skating is kind of like gymnastics only on ice. Ski jumping scares me just to watch it. Any of those athletes could be (and sometimes are) badly injured if they don't execute their moves correctly. Biles apparently understood that her mind wasn't quite where it should have been and pulled out before she might have hurt herself and damaged her team's chances for a medal. The armchair athletes who are shitting on her while watching tv and stuffing their fat faces with Cheetos can fuck right off.

Im not happy at all about the morons who are belittling those kids who are mature enough to say.. Im just not mentally there...those people could not come close to this honesty. I applaud all of these talented and dedicated kids.. I also applaud their honesty and selfless decisions. All these people..from everywhere, are to be held in high esteem. The talking heads who couldnt hold a candle to any of them should stfu.
